Current Research
Interests: Ergonomics:
Implications on Computer End-users in Private vs. Government Organizations
in Pakistan.
Scope
My research focuses
particularly on an ergonomically designed computer-based environment,
and what implications it has on the employees. I will investigate the
role of ergonomics in a Government Organization vs. a Private
Organization of Pakistan, and see how it effects employee productivity
and morale.
My research paper would cover the
following issues:
- Definition of Ergonomics.
- How ergonomics is applied to
computer-based work environments.
- Ergonomics in relation to
Human-Computer Interaction: Its significance.
-
Level of awareness
towards ergonomically designed computer systems and environments,
and how much of importance is given to this area. This would include
interviewing various personnel at top & middle-level management
to analyze the role of ergonomics in local organizations, and its
use when designing computer-based work environments.
-
Importance of
ergonomics, taking into account the factors which directly
contribute towards design of computer systems based on human and
environmental factors.
-
Comparison of a
Private Organization with a Government Organization, and what effects
ergonomics has on the workforce.
-
Problems arising due
to poor ergonomics in computer systems: these would include health
& safety issues, frequency of errors during work, especially in
high-stress and mission-critical systems, and reduction in employee
motivation & productivity.
- Ergonomics & its significant
implications for efficiency, productivity, safety and health.
