Abstract

There exist debates on whether task complexity significantly influences on information seeking performance. This poster conducted a meta-analysis to explore whether objective and subjective task complexities significantly affect information searching performance measured by time. Result shows there is a significant correlation between task complexity and time performance. Objective task complexity has a highly negative effect on time performance, while subjective task complexity has a moderately negative effect on it. As for the effect of objective task complexity on time performance, the study samples are homogeneous. However, they are heterogeneous on the effect of subjective task complexity on time.
