Identity Questionnaire

This questionnaire is anonymous.

In the modern era an individual has multiple identities spread across various categories of account. Obvious examples include bank, social media or email accounts but more subtly individuals also have identities within the HR, Payroll and computer systems of their employers. This study considers this from the perspective of HR system users against the principles of technical approaches that are available and factors that may influence their adoption.
