Moloney's research centers on information systems' real-world value creation through qualitative investigations of music technology ecosystems, serious games design, and organizational technology adoption. She pioneers phenomenological approaches to understanding perceived value in digital environments, with recent expansion into mental health counselling applications and government sector digital transformation. Her methodology blends grounded theory with practical case studies to address complex socio-technical challenges.

Analysis of her 7 research outputs (2004-2025) reveals evolving focus from foundational music information systems (2008-2010) toward contemporary applications in SME digital markets (2025), government HRM transformation (2025), and educational gamification (2023). The work consistently bridges information systems theory with sector-specific implementation challenges across creative industries, public administration, and education.
