2. 方法
To achieve the study aims a case study design incorporating two methods of inquiry was used.
要完成個(gè)案研究設(shè)計(jì)可具體分為兩種研究方法.
Firstly, interviews were conducted with a sample of Company A's engineers and designers to obtain
their description of the design process and use of ergonomics information.
第一,進(jìn)行公司A的工程師及設(shè)計(jì)者的面試以獲取他們對(duì)設(shè)計(jì)流程和人類工程學(xué)信息的認(rèn)識(shí).
Secondly, the"rst author conducted a walk-through evaluation of equipment designed by Company A and installed at a client company site.
第二,the"rst author （打錯(cuò)了吧）第一位設(shè)計(jì)者要進(jìn)行針對(duì)公司A設(shè)計(jì)的設(shè)備的初步評(píng)估并設(shè)置公司客戶網(wǎng)站.
This evaluation utilised a speci"cally
developed ergonomics checklist (Skepper et al., 1998a,b) to identify ergonomics problems with the installed equipment.
此評(píng)估使用專門(mén)的人類工程學(xué)清單用已安裝設(shè)備(Skepper et al., 1998a,b)以識(shí)別人類工程學(xué)問(wèn)題.
Further information on problems was gained through discussions with client company operators and managers during the onsite evaluation.
通過(guò)在線評(píng)估與客戶公司組織者和經(jīng)歷的討論獲得問(wèn)題的補(bǔ)充信息.
2.1. Part 1: Design process description
第一部分：設(shè)計(jì)流程說(shuō)明
To collect information on the design process and use of ergonomics, nine engineers and designers were recruited for interviews.
收集設(shè)計(jì)流程和人類工程學(xué)使用的信息,九個(gè)工程師和設(shè)計(jì)者負(fù)責(zé)面試.
The sample was selected to gain representation from di!erent design teams and di!erent disciplines [mechanical, inlec (instrumentation and electrical) and structural].
根據(jù)不同設(shè)計(jì)組和原理（機(jī)械性能,儀表裝置,電器工程,構(gòu)造學(xué)）選定設(shè)計(jì)方法.
All interviewees had been working with Company A for a minimum of 1 yr and had worked on designs
with user issues.
所有參加面試的人都和A公司一起工作至少一年時(shí)間并致力于客戶相關(guān)問(wèn)題的設(shè)計(jì).
Interviews were conducted during paid time with the agreement of both interviewees and management. Interviews were conducted in the interviewees'normal place of work and lasted
about 1 h.
面試在工作時(shí)間面試官和經(jīng)理一致同意下進(jìn)行.并在面試官正常工作環(huán)境下持續(xù)大約一小時(shí).
Whilst the sample size was relatively small, given the number of designers and engineers employed by the company as a whole, it is likely that the sample represents the better sta!within the company because a manager selected the sta!to be approached for the interviews.
樣品規(guī)格相對(duì)較小,若設(shè)計(jì)者和工程師數(shù)量整體被公司整體聘用,那么公司可能聘用較好的員工,因?yàn)榻?jīng)理會(huì)選擇通過(guò)面試的員工.
Comments from the manager indicated that he wished to portray his company in a favourable light and it is therefore likely that he only selected sta!whom he believed to be good at
their job.
經(jīng)理的評(píng)價(jià)表示他想深思熟慮地描述他的公司,所以很可能只選擇有信心做好工作的員工.
