Title: Validity of Web-based Survey in IS Related Research as an Alternative to Mail Survey
Abstract: Internet technology enabled many researchers to use the web as a tool for IS related research survey. But, they conducted web-based survey without verification of validity as an alternative to or substitute for mail survey. This study compared web-based survey with mail survey to check validity of web-based survey as an alternative to mail survey. Web-based survey has different characteristics in terms of demographic preference, response speed, response rate, cost, and so on. However, there exists no difference in survey results. Thus, web-based survey can be an alternative to mail survey. But, researchers have to be careful in selecting sample because of differences in demographic preferences.
