Another approach may be to weight the criteria from 1 to 5. From these values, a mean value can be derived
which may be additionally weighted according to the importance or relevance of the aspects considered.
The criteria suggested here have been derived from the different theoretical concepts of work and
organizational psychology as well as from observations in practice, as described in this report. The case
study in Section 5.8 illustrates the application of these criteria. They are as follows:
The Criteria for Assessing Technology in Use
Criteria concerning the degree of automation achieved through implementing the new technology system:
1. Comprehensive workplaces: Are the tasks of the users of this technology integrated and compre-
hensive and do they include straight-forward as well as challenging task components but avoid
new burdens and stress?
2. Easy-to-use systems: Does the technology allow for easy use by different users?
3. Flexibility of use: Can the users use the system in different ways according to their individual
competencies and skills?
4. Reality problem solving: Does the system allow the users to solve problems in reality, e.g., in the
case of a system breakdown?
5. Work rhythm definition: Can the users at least partially define their own rhythm of work?
6. Working conditions: Does the new system contribute to improving conditions at work, e.g., health
conditions?
Criteria concerning the degree of networking implemented with the new technological system:
1. System reliability: Is the system designed to be reliable and safe?
2. User groups access: Does the system offer fair rules for different users concerning access and
interventions?
3. System stability: Is the system stable even under conditions of user error?
4. Decentralized structures: Is the system structure sufficiently decentralized to allow independent
operation of subsystems if needed?
5. System transparency: Is the system as a whole transparent to different user groups?
6. Freedom for human decisions: Does the system allow the users to decide their ways of working
with the system?
