Comparative Work Environment Perceptions of Operating Personnel within Experimental and Standard Communication Systems

Abstract

An experimental semi-automated field communication system was evaluated in comparison with the current standard communication system. Scanners in the experimental system and operators and transcribers on the standard system completed two questionnaires dealing with past training and experience and perceptions of jobs in the system. Responses were analyzed with special reference to acceptability of the equipment and working aids, adequacy of job assistance and performance feedback, superior/subordinate and peer/peer interaction, and the individual's perception of his role in the system.
