Designing systems for job satisfaction

Enid Mumford

Omega, 1973, vol. 1, issue 4, 493-498

Abstract: This article puts forward the proposition that the present philosophy associated with the design of computer systems is too technically orientated. Human needs are not sufficiently catered for and the attainment of motivational objectives such as an increase in job satisfaction is not seen as part of the systems designers function. A more humanistic approach is required in which the human part of any man-computer system is specifically designed so as to improve the quality of working life of those people interacting with the system.
