Abstract |
General remarks on the work load (different points of view of the work organiser and the ergonomist) and the mental load (qualitative and quantitive assessment), subjective experience of mental load (individual and collective reactions, fatigue). The article is mainly devoted to a review of objective evaluation criteria (work studies especially on the basis of the bit as unit of information, study of the operator's attitude in a mental work situation; productivity studies). The part played by environmental factors, trends in the mental load and ageing is also assessed. Example of questionnaire design. |
