Website information architecture influences on user performance: An experimental approach
This paper investigates on how the information architecture (IA) of culture-specific website influences user performance in information seeking task. In our study, we bring forward groundbreaking work of Faiola (2006) and Faiola and Matei (2006) on Cultural Cognition Theory (CCT) that provides the l...

This paper investigates on how the information architecture (IA) of culture-specific website influences user performance in information seeking task.

Based on CCT, we prescribed that the IA of culture-specific website, facilitates cognitive metabolism and subsequently increase performance.
