A Theoretical Analysis of the Impact of Task Scope on Employee Performance
Academy of Management Review, 1976A model is presented linking task scope to employee motivation and performance. Emphasis is given to the importance of objective, environmental (versus psychological) conceptualizations of task scope. Psychological reactions to variations in task scope are depicted as dependent on intervening constructs.

Error analysis of task performance with laptop in vibration environment
Computers in Human Behavior, 2011The present study investigates influences of vibration directions, vibration magnitudes, object sizes, object distances and angles of approach on producing errors while performing pointing and clicking activity on a laptop monitor similar to passengers working on moving trains.

Motor expertise and performance in spatial tasks: A meta-analysis
Human Movement Science, 2017The present study aimed to provide a summary of findings relevant to the influence of motor expertise on performance in spatial tasks and to examine potential moderators of this effect. Studies of relevance were those in which individuals involved in activities presumed to require motor expertise were compared to non-experts in such activities. A final

Spatial Task Performance: A Meta-Analysis
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 1988The literature which compared spatial task performance of blind and sighted subjects was analyzed using a meta-analytic approach. Effect sizes were computed for comparisons between early versus late onset visually impaired subjects, early onset versus sighted, late onset versus sighted, and mixed onset versus sighted.

A computerized analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic task performance
Surgical Endoscopy, 2007Robotic technology has been postulated to improve performance in advanced surgical skills. We utilized a novel computerized assessment system to objectively describe the technical enhancement in task performance comparing robotic and laparoscopic instrumentation.Advanced laparoscopic surgeons (2-10 yrs experience) performed three unique task modules ...

On-the-Job Tasks and Performance Pay: A Vacancy-Level Analysis
ILR Review, 2010Drawing on a dataset of job openings posted at an online job board, the authors find that employers are less likely to offer performance-based pay when a job entails multitasking, quality control, or team work than when a job does not entail these tasks. This finding is consistent with the notion that when employers have difficulty measuring a worker's

Analysis of Tasks Performed by Certified Ophthalmic Medical Personnel
Ophthalmology, 1995Proper delegation of routine tasks to trained personnel might increase cost efficiency by freeing the physician to concentrate on the medical and judgmental aspects of patient care. In ophthalmology, certified ophthalmic medical personnel (OMP) assist the physician by performing many tasks.

Visual Behavior Analysis of Human Performance in Precision Tasks
2015In this paper we have presented a pilot study done on seven subjects for analyzing the variation of human task performance on precision manual tasks by changing the visual distance. A trivial screw fastening task was performed at sitting and standing posture.

Workplace for analysis of task performance
2003In current research on mental workload and task performance a large gap exists between laboratory based studies and research projects in real life working practice. Tasks conducted within a laboratory environment often lack a strong resemblance with real life working situations.

Proceedings of the 22nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (Cat. No.00CH37143), 2002
Research targeting improved quantification of human performance identified conceptual shortcomings, motivating development of General Systems Performance Theory (GSPT) and the Elemental Resource Model (ERM) for human performance. These have had profound implications for performance measurement, task analysis, and performance prediction.
