Influence of work design elements on work performance and work perception – an experimental investigation

摘要

Future work systems will be highly computerized and cognitively challenging. In order to design these systems being both productive and human-oriented, further work design research in the specific area of cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) is needed. Thus, we conducted an experimental investigation on three work design elements in CPPS. Within the experiment, the participants were asked to solve model manufacturing scheduling tasks which go along with a questionnaire. In this paper, we present the results of the study and a preliminary analysis on the effect of several work design elements on work performance and work perception.
