Synopsis

This book offers an introductory account of the potential scope for computers in the workplace. It examines the range of factors which occur when computers are introduced into the work environment. These include acceptance of the systems - at individual, organizational and public levels; training personnel; considering the design of the input, output and environmental hardware; looking at the software aspects of computing, including presenting information on the 'screen'; and finally, considering how some of these questions can be applied to specific working situations. Thus both ergonomic and psychological considerations are investigated. It will therefore present the reader with a cohesive and comprehensive overview of the behavioural problems and benefits of using computers at work.
