Book Description

This study investigated the well-being and working conditions of a heterogeneous sample of 248 VDT users and 85 non-users. An additional smaller sample of VDT users was assessed for their perceptions of changes in working conditions and health incident to the introduction of VDTs in their jobs. All participants were office workers employed by public agencies of the State of Wisconsin. All but 13 were females. The objectives were (1) to explore whether VDT users are at greater risk for job and health disturbances than their non-user counterparts, and (2) to identify potential causes of strain among VDT users.
