Technology for meaningful work
Speaker: Marc Hassenzahl – Siegen, GermanyTopic(s): Human Computer Interaction
Abstract
For most people, work is more than just solving tasks as efficiently as possible in exchange for a salary – work has to be enjoyable and meaningful on a day-to-day basis. When we think of meaningful work, we usually first think of work organization, the content of specific tasks or a chat in the coffee kitchen – information technology tends to play a subordinate role.
Using case studies from radiology, shift planning and automation, I will show how the design of work equipment can be geared not only to supposed efficiency gains, but also to the well-being of the workers.
