Advanced manufacturing technology and work design: Towards a theoretical framework
提出了一个理论框架，用于研究先进制造技术对车间操作人员的心理影响，识别了控制、认知需求、生产责任和社会互动四个关键变量，并预测它们如何影响系统绩效、工作压力和满意度。
Abstract This paper introduces a theoretical framework to guide research into the psychological effects of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) on shopfloor operators. The framework has two main aspects. First, based on the emerging literature on the job content implications of AMT, it identifies four key constructs, namely: control, cognitive demand, production responsibility and social interaction. Second, by drawing on the more established job design, stress and related literatures, it predicts how these independent variables differentially affect system performance, job‐related strain and job satisfaction. The wider implications and limitations of the theoretical framework are discussed.
