Improving office work : a participatory ergonomic experiment in a naturalistic setting / P. Ving and M. A.J. Kompier
Sumario: The study focuses on the comparison of the three conditions and of the two groups of employees: 33 who received thorough instruction and training only, and 12 who also participated in the experiment. Both objective and subjective improvements are demonstrated in the recommended situation when compared to the original situation. It is concluded that experimental measurements in a naturalistic setting may contribute significantly to workplace improvements by presenting adequate and "objective" information for workplace improvement and ergonomic redesign, and as a change agent itself, that is as an "intesified treatment"
