Der Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ, Morgeson & Humphrey, 2006 ) ist ein Fragebogen zur Analyse von Arbeitstätigkeiten. Er umfasst Aufgaben-, Wissens-, soziale und kontextuelle Arbeitsplatzmerkmale (insgesamt 21 Skalen). In diesem Beitrag wird eine deutsche Übersetzung des WDQ vorgestellt. Wir berichten Ergebnisse aus vier Studien, in denen die deutsche Version erstmals eingesetzt und überprüft wurde. In Studie 1 zeigten sich gute bis sehr gute interne Konsistenzen für die Skalen. Im Hinblick auf die Validität der Skalen konnten einige postulierte Zusammenhänge der über den WDQ erfassten Arbeitsplatzmerkmale mit Zufriedenheit, Arbeitsmotivation, Bedeutsamkeit, Verantwortlichkeit und dem Wissen um die Resultate nachgewiesen werden. Das differenzierte Muster der Zusammenhänge spricht für die getrennte Erfassung aller 21 Konstrukte. In Studie 2 konnten die Ergebnisse zu Reliabilität und Kriteriumsvalidität aus der ersten Studie repliziert werden. Darüber hinaus konnte die postulierte Faktorstruktur durch konfirmatorische Faktorenanalysen bestätigt werden. Es zeigten sich theoretisch plausible Unterschiede hinsichtlich Berufsgruppe, Selbstständigkeit und Führungsverantwortung. In Studie 3 konnte eine ausreichende zeitliche Stabilität der WDQ-Skalen nachgewiesen werden. In Studie 4 gaben wir den WDQ einer Stichprobe von Pflegekräften vor. Die Angaben sind deutlich homogener als in heterogenen Stichproben, was eine Erfassung von objektiv gegebenen Arbeitsmerkmalen durch den WDQ andeutet. Insgesamt sprechen die Ergebnisse der vier Studien für die Reliabilität und Validität des deutschen WDQ.

Full textAbstract:
The work design illustrates how structured jobs, tasks, and roles are defined and modified and their impact on individuals, groups, and organizations. If the work is not designed well, the company must pay greater costs for workers’ health, longer production processes or even penalties for not being able to meet the delivery schedule. This is visible to the condition in a rubber processing factory in North Sumatra. Work design aspects such as layouts, machinery and equipment, worker's physical working environment, work methods, and organizational policies have not been well-organized. Coagulum grinding machines into sheets are often damaged, resulting in 4 times the delay of product delivery in 2016, the presence of complaints of heat exposure submitted by workers, and workstation that has not been properly arranged is an indication of the need for work design. The research data will be collected through field observation, and distribution of questionnaires related aspects of work design. The result of the analysis depends on the respondent's answer from the distributed questionnaire regarding the 6 aspects studied.

Full textAbstract:
Both academics and practitioners have devoted increasing attention to job design as a result of continued changes to the nature of work. There have been many studies on job design over the last five decades, and the most prominent model used to study job design is the job characteristics model (JCM) (Hackman & Oldham, 1980). More recently, Morgeson and Humphrey (2006) extended the JCM and job design research by developing a comprehensive work design questionnaire (WDQ) that includes characteristics such as social characteristics, knowledge characteristics and work context, in addition to the already existing JCM. The focus of JCM, and now WDQ, has primarily been on the job characteristics that motivate employees. In reality, however, not every task that an employee performs in their work role is preferred by that employee. Therefore, it would be naïve to not consider those tasks in work roles that employees prefer not to perform. A mixed methods research approach was used in this research to delve deeper into the task level analysis of job design. In particular, this research investigates those tasks that employees prefer not to perform. This research is based on the following research questions: RQ1: Do employees identify non-preferred work tasks (NPWTs)?; RQ2: How do employees manage NPWTs?; RQ3: What is the effect of NPWTs on work outcomes?
The first and second research questions were answered through Study 1, which was qualitative in nature and sought responses from 40 professionals working over two industries (hospitality and university). The semi-structured interviews with the participants provided greater understanding of the nature of NPWTs in work roles. Furthermore, the respondents provided various ways in which they managed their NPWTs when answering the second research question.
Addressing the third research question required the use of a scale development process in Study 2, as there were no pre-established scales measuring NPWTs. This process established the reliability and validity of the scale for NPWTs by testing the scale for predictive and discriminant validity with a sample size of 126 respondents. After successfully establishing a scale for NPWTs in Study 2, Study 3 was undertaken to answer the third research question, using an experimental design that manipulated positive emotions (high and low) and further test the predictive and discriminant validity for the scale of NPWTs. Study 3 tested whether NPWTs predict organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and work engagement.
Chapter 1 provides the background and introduction to the dissertation, including justifying the broad research questions. Chapter 2 provides a review of the literature across a diverse range of fields under which research on this topic has been undertaken. NPWTs are conceptualised and unpacked in Chapter 3 through a variety of examples that provide the basis and reasoning to understanding NPWTs in this thesis.
Chapter 4 describes Study 1, which involved the conduct of semi-structured interviews to explore the nature of NPWTs and how employees manage NPWTs in their work roles. Upon confirming that NPWTs exist and employees identify and differentiate between their NPWTs and preferred work tasks (PWTs), the data from Chapter 4 were used to develop a scale to measure NPWTs in Chapter 5, which outlines Study 2.
Study 2 established the items for the scale of NPWTs and confirmed the internal reliability for the measure. The predictive and discriminant validity with a small sample size of 126 respondents was also assessed. The predictive validity of NPWTs was tested against the outcome variables of creativity and workplace deviance. Once the reliability and validity of the scale was confirmed, an experimental design was conducted in Chapter 6, Study 3, to manipulate positive emotions (high and low activation) further test the predictive validity of the scale of NPWTs with 145 respondents. The outcome variables for this study were organisational citizenship behaviours and work engagement. The results of this study confirmed the prediction that NPWTs are negatively related to positive organisational outcomes of OCB and work engagement.
Chapter 7 outlines the overall results, draws out emerging themes, and notes the contributions to research and practice that emerged from this program of research. The research findings, limitations, and implications for practice and theory are discussed.
The results of these studies offer several contributions to research and practice. Firstly, they offer researchers a new, timely, and an important avenue of research in job design literature by highlighting the importance of task analysis in job design. The results also draw attention to the new concept of non-preferred work tasks. The scale developed in this thesis will further help researchers to investigate the impact of NPWTs in organisational outcomes. Finally, the findings from this new measure will assist practitioners to understand the impact of NPWTs on work outcomes and the role of positive emotions in ameliorating this effect. Given that billions of dollars are being lost on lack of employee engagement in workplaces, it is anticipated that this research will support managers and organisations in making decisions about the tasks that employees perform in their roles and reduce NPWTs by addressing these with their employees.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

“Overworking to death” is a phenomenon that has been noticeable in developing countries. The cause of death is mainly through ischemic strokes. While the victims’ occupations differed, they all shared a common characteristic, being positioned in a sedentary work, ranging from IT workers to doctors. This project’s aim was to develop a product that prevented or decreased the strokes that derived from sedentary overwork. This was mainly tackled by preventing one of the three causes of developing blood props, slowed blood flow. In order to gather rich data of the phenomenon, a qualitative study was conducted in China, during two months. By doing an extensive structured sampling, information rich data could be gathered during a short period of time. Data were derived from observations, questionnaires and an interview, which then was interpreted to customer needs and the final product specification. The final product became a trouser with an in built dynamic compression mechanic, that can compress the veins mostly during sitting activities, in order to prevent blood stasis. The compression mechanic works like the Chinese finger trap; compressing the calves while sitting and stretching the legs forward. It is made only out of polysaccharides fibres; cotton and corn."Guolaosi" eller död från överarbete är ett fenomen som i regel uppkommer bland utvecklingsländer. Dödsorsaken är huvudsakligen genom stroke. Offrens yrken varierar allt från professorer, IT-arbetare till läkare. De delar dock en sak gemensamt; att arbeta under långa perioder stillasittande. Projektets mål var att utveckla en produkt som minskar dödliga följderna av sedentära överarbete, genom att förebygga en av de tre orsakerna för att utveckla blodproppar; saktad blodström. Målgruppen var då kineser av de yrken som hade tidigare drabbats av fenomenet. För att samla informationsrika data om fenomenet genomfördes en kvalitativ studie i Kina under två månader. Genom att göra en omfattande strukturerad provtagning kunde informationsrika data samlas under en kort tidsperiod. Fältstudien bestod av observationer, frågeformulär och en intervju, som då tolkades till kundbehov och eventuellt produktspecifikationen. Den slutliga produkten kom att bli ett par byxor med en inbyggd dynamisk komprimeringsmekanism, som kan komprimera venerna under sittande aktiviteter, för att förhindra saktad blodström. Kompressionsmekanismen fungerar som den kinesiska fingerfällan. Den komprimerar blodkärlen medan personen sitter och sträcker benen framåt. Produkten är konstruerad på så sätt att den kan tillverkas endast av polysackariders tråd, från bomull och majs. Vilket är lämpligt för Kinas lokala resurser.

AbstractThe various types of welding workstation designs used in a rail component manufacturing system environment have drawn the attention of industrial engineers to the safety and efficiency of the workers during welding operations. Welding operations are carried out using several posture configurations, which have a negative physical ergonomic impact on the workers, especially in manual welding processes. This empirical research investigates the ergonomics conditions of welding workplaces with the aim of ascertaining the disorders that may be associated with working posture during welding operations among the South African population. Twenty-seven (27) welders were randomly selected, and data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The majority (67 percent of the welders) stated that they experience discomfort and pain whilst they carry out their task, which contradicts ergonomic guidelines for working posture. Forty-eight percent of the welding workers were frequently physically tired. Sixty-three (63) percent agree that they perform repetitive tasks, and a majority of 78% of welding workers reported neck discomfort as a result of tilting their neck posture for a longer period during welding operations. It was deduced that the correlation among risk factors associated with workstation design, repetitive tasks, contribute to the awkward posture adopted whilst welding, that, if retained for a long duration, could lead to musculoskeletal injuries, poor quality of work, and reduced productivity. Based on these results, in order to increase productivity, it was proposed to redesign the welding workstations and to prioritize interventional ergonomic programme to minimize the MSDs problems.

AbstractThe article presents the first National Student Survey (NSS-RO) results. The questionnaire was opened to all Romanian students between November 2020 and January 2021 and involved 23,796 respondents from 76 higher education institutions. Initially designed to be a tool to improve the quality of higher education, given the epidemiological context created with the Covid-19 pandemic, it expanded with one section to measure students’ perception of its impact on higher education. This work intends to establish a correlation between student dropout intention during the Covid-19 pandemic and the direct support received from higher education institutions regarding material resources, such as tablets, laptops, or other similar tools. Secondly, it analyses the students’ perception of the transition into emergency remote education. We measured in this sense their opinion on how easily they accessed mainly online educational resources, the information received, and the teachers’ performance during classes. These results provide one of the first steps towards understanding the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Romanian higher education system. The massive interference provoked a giant leap in digitalisation and significantly changed how universities apply Student-Centred Learning (SCL) practices. Also, this study contributes to the area of national student surveys.

Abstract This chapter tells about Brad, the consultant who has a special personality enabling him to react positively with most people including his clients. This is a special skill and is very useful, a skill that can be developed and improved by most people given some work. To understand how to improve requires understanding the reasons for the special personality. Everyone's personality is dependent on their genetic makeup (genotype) obtained from their parents and on how this interacts with the environment they experience right from when a baby. Parents clearly have a large influence on the early environment, but so do all other interactions over life. Everyone's overall psyche at any time is referred to as their phenotype - that is, the result of their genotype and environment. This psyche also impacts on how anyone learns and consequently influences what they have learnt about people skills. This chapter also reports that most of the farmers being invited to join the experimental groups had already been through the earlier programme to improve their decision intuition so were familiar with the process and questionnaires used in this new programme, designed to remove their decision biases and change their personalities to be more akin to an optimal phenotype suitable for management work. Increasingly, particularly with respect to the environment, farmers are facing more and more rules and regulations they must comply with. The same goes for labour regulations, and also health and safety.

This paper reports an analysis of the tasks included in the Mathematical Challenges book. The analysis was based on the proposals of the Authentic Intellectual Work (AIW). The purpose of the study focuses on assessing the potential of the mathematical challenges to promote in-depth and meaningful learning through the connection with different contexts, and other features including purpose, multiple-solution pathways, construction of knowledge and higher order thinking. Participants in this study were 3 elementary school teachers, 2 mathematics specialists and the authors of this paper; they assessed the Mathematical Challenges through a questionnaire based on specific rubrics. The study used a mixed methods approach. The analysis produced two main findings. First, challenges vary in their connections to students' lives according to the context they come from. Second, almost all mathematical challenges are related to the highest levels of others AIW criteria.

Women and people of color are vastly underrepresented in the American professoriate; although the presence of female faculty and professors of color is beneficial to the academy on various levels, these groups often face numerous barriers and challenges while serving in the professoriate and striving for promotion and tenure. This study was designed to investigate demonstrated multicultural awareness and positive work environment with regard to race, gender, or a combination within academic departments to help academic leaders better develop and understand multicultural leadership. Data were collected from 650 tenured and tenure-track faculty through an online questionnaire. The data analysis revealed that males and females of color within the professoriate report a less positive work environment than Caucasian faculty.

The gamification of different work tasks remains an area where studies have focused mainly on conceptual considerations. This chapter focuses on the gamification process in facility services jobs – cleaning and maintenance. In general, gamification can improve productivity and workplace well-being. Better motivation is supposed to lead to better results and more enjoyable work. This chapter describes the process of gamifying facility services jobs, from the interviews of the staff to the implementation of the custom-made application, WorkAI. Eighteen employees participated in the pilot study, filled in a questionnaire, and attended semi-structured end-interview sessions. This chapter shows how personnel perceived the gamified solution and its possible effects on the employees and their work. Based on the results, the gamified solution must be easy to adapt and should not disturb work routines. This application's main benefit lies in the employee's self-reflection and self-evaluation.

The medical literature shows that social determinants of health have a significant impact upon health outcomes. However, health professionals often lack the skills to address these determinants at the systems-level. Therefore, we developed a Design Thinking workshop to teach about health-related social needs and to practice designing person-centered solutions. We piloted the workshop with 53 medical and physician assistant students; 69.8% responded to the post-workshop questionnaire. Nearly 80% of students agreed the workshop helped them understand the effect of context on clinical outcomes and demonstrated how to design patient-centered solutions. However, only 50% of respondents anticipated using the Design Thinking methods in their future practice. We need to identify more effective ways to demonstrate the practical application of Design Thinking to clinical work settings.

Full textAbstract:
Industrial work is changing due to the fourth industrial revolution (Kagermann, 2013). The work will become more mediated when new technologies emerge in factories (e.g., robotics, artificial intelligence and augmented reality). During this change, it is important to consider human factors (HF) issues holistically when developing and implementing novel digital solutions. Often, HF methods such as questionnaires are focusing on a certain topic related to the development of the solution (e.g., usability, acceptance). However, in industrial work context, there are many different HF issues that should be considered when designing a human-technology interaction. To address this lack of a quick and holistic questionnaire, a WorkerFeedback questionnaire was developed through a Design and Evaluation Framework (Kaasinen et al., 2018), literature review and expert validation. The questionnaire development was based on the Design and Evaluation Framework, which supports design and evaluation of digital solutions that will be used by future factory workers (Kaasinen et al., 2018). The framework is useful for providing an overview to important user experience related issues and it is a holistic approach to design and evaluation tasks. The literature review was based on the HF topics that are related to the success of implementing new technology on to the factory floor. Several questionnaires were reviewed related to following topics: user experience, usability, user acceptance, usefulness, ergonomics, safety and ethics. Questionnaires were used as a basis to generate a 14-item questionnaire – two questions for each topic. The questionnaire was validated by an expert panel, which included three human factors experts with over 15 years of experience of user studies, mainly in industrial contexts. They were asked to review, for example, the adequacy of the topics and the formulation of the questions.The expert panel agreed that their overall impression of the questionnaire was good. The suggested seven topics were seen to be relevant for the context. Majority of the feedback was related to the formulation of the questions and making them easier to understand. Based on the experts’ feedback, the questions were shaped to their final form. In future, the WorkerFeedback questionnaire will be piloted with the actual digital solution users. The WorkerFeedback questionnaire was developed to smoothen the digital transition in industry and to support human-technology interaction design. The questionnaire can be used by HF experts as well as practitioners who want to get a holistic overview of developed digital solutions or solutions under development for work context.

Full textAbstract:
In the lives of the elderly, work and the related socio-economic conditions are a significant, and often essential, part of life. The quality of life is a cumulative and multifactorial indicator. Therefore, to evaluate it, macroergonomic analysis is particularly applicable. Quality of life is thus an aggregating factor, which generally describes factors in an undoubtedly subjective manner. Currently existing methods propose to ask questions about the quality of working life in categories such as: wages, incentive systems, relations with supervisors and co-workers, market position of the company, opinions on the organization expressed by others, and organization and nature of the work. However, the evaluation of individual categories helps to a small extent to identify particularly important systemic relationships as well as expectations directed at the technical and organizational environment. Therefore, this paper presents a synthesis of methods, utilizing, among others, Macroergonomic Organizational Questionnaire Survey (MOQS), Karasek’s Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), NIOSH Job Stress Questionnaire and NASA Task Load Index. This combination results in a research tool that not only assesses the fulfilment of each category, but also recognizes the needs of people surveyed in the specific areas.

Full textAbstract:
In Japan, there are some floating structures on the sea. The structures take the form of pontoon and are called “floating artificial base”. Buildings are able to be constructed on it, so the floating artificial base is expected as utilization of ocean space. It is thought the structural design should be considered habitability for human living in a floating artificial base. We investigated an existing floating structure. In the concrete, vertical acceleration was measured and questionnaire survey was sent out for user of the structure in the purpose of grasping the motion and the habitability. The habitability was evaluated by Saito’s diagram. As a result of this, it is confirmed the existing floating structure shows elastic behavior and rigid motion simultaneously. It is obtained a lot of respondents felt the motion most sensitively at the dolphin mooring however they did not think uneasy or displeasingly from results of the questions. Visual is important factor in feeling the motion. The habitability became Work Level according to Saito’s diagram for evaluation. Therefore it is though activities on the structure are not difficulty.

Full textAbstract:
Gamification techniques have demonstrated that students improve their learning process through mobile applications. However, every teacher creates his/her own questions for the game design, involving classroom response systems through a digital app such as Kahoot!, Socrative, Blicker, Clickers, Plickers, etc., without previous planning of the difficulty in every question formulated to the students. This work focuses on the evaluation design of a questionnaire for the final test of the Power Electronics subject, following Bloom’s Taxonomy methodology for every level of critical thinking within the cognitive domain of the learning process for students. Furthermore, an analysis of the V-Aiken for the reliability and validity of each question were taken into account. The final test implementation was carried out at Centro Universitario de Tonala, Jalisco, Mexico, involving nine students of the Energy Engineering grade of the fifth semester. The results show an analysis of the performance of the students when applying a designed test based on revised Bloom Taxonomy. It was better because the student demonstrates, in a more integral way, his/her mastery skill in different topics of the subject, while the results of the not-designed exam showed a poor student performance because all of their knowledge and skills are not evaluated when it is not applied a proper effective question.

Full textAbstract:
Teaching statistics to future statisticians should take into account both statistical knowledge and personal skills needed in the statisticians’ professional life. Based on a questionnaire designed to assess competencies actually needed by statisticians in the workplace, this paper aims to detect if the competence framework helps to better understand the transition from university to work. With this objective, three metric profiles are proposed to locate knowledge, “relational skills” and actually performed activities, and graduate scores. The graduates in Statistical Sciences from ”Sapienza” University of Rome from March 2000 to March 2001 were acquired as emblematic cases in Spring 2004. There were 146 respondents out of the total of 296 graduates in the time period. The Rasch analysis is applied to analyze the data and to build on the profiles. In particular the analysis was performed applying the Rasch family response models to polytomous items. The item parameters and the latent trait value for each respondent are estimated by the joint maximum likelihood method. The analysis results could be useful in order to design curricula for university degrees in Statistics that would make the university-workplace transition process easier.

In Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics Conference. AHFE International, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.54941/ahfe100702.
Full textAbstract:
A trend can be observed towards grouping and shifting local operations to centralized remote lock operation centers (RLOCs) due to costs and limitations in personnel resources and the increasing automation level of technical systems. However, safety-critical activities still require active monitoring of processes by a human operator with help of adequate technical systems and interfaces. Therefore, many video images and abstract representations must be shown simultaneously at one workplace to guarantee an all-inclusive overview. Given this situation, it has to be determined from an ergonomic point of view how many systems (e.g. lock chambers) can be controlled by one operator. Therefore, the challenge is to develop a new efficient and ergonomic control concept for RLOCs that prevents straining work conditions in terms of mental over- and underload. This control concept should enable the short-term and situation-dependent allocation of systems to operators. Moreover, prospective personnel resource planning and the design of the control panels have to be adapted to the control concept and human performance factors.The following paper presents a study covering the analysis of tasks and processes in remote lock operation centers around Germany including soft- and hardware design components in use. Based on the results, a new concept integrating ergonomic requirements for remote control and monitoring has been developed. This concept enables the assignment of optimal workload to one workplace by determining the potential straining condition within one shift. For the purpose of integrating prospective and retrospective evaluation, a practical guide for personnel management and scheduling has been developed. It includes a questionnaire and calculation specifications that can be generically adapted to other remote operation centers. In addition to the strain which is evoked by the main tasks of lock control and monitoring, it also considers the impact of additional tasks. Based on the developed concept for remote control and monitoring and in accordance with the assessed ergonomic design requirements, the control panel layout has been determined with regard to anthropometric dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
Usability is a quality attribute that nowadays cannot be ignored by software development teams. Designing a software product that is difficult to use and understand, where the user is lost, and the achievement of the user's objectives is prevented, can cause users to choose to use similar alternatives. For this reason, Human-Computer Interaction specialists have developed a set of usability evaluation methods that allow problems to be identified to guarantee an appropriate level of user-friendliness of the application. However, there is a large disagreement between the authors as to which is the best method to use. In this study, the results of two of the most used methods to carry out usability evaluations of software products have been compared: the questionnaire and the heuristic evaluation. On the one hand, the questionnaire has turned out to be the method most used by the scientific community because it is easy to use and does not require much material preparation. However, the majority of questionnaires have been aimed at being answered by end-users. In a previous work, we developed a questionnaire for UX practitioners that in this case has been used for the evaluation of an electronic commerce application. On the other hand, heuristic evaluation is a method where specialists verify compliance with certain principles in the design of the graphical interfaces of a software product. It is also widely used like questionnaires but requires more planning and execution time. In this research, it is possible to evidence the differences in the type of problems that can be identified by each of the methods. In conclusion, it is possible to mention that although a percentage of problems are identified that can only be identified with one or the other method, the recommendation is to use both methods as the results complement each other.

Full textAbstract:
Office syndrome is dangerous in long-term health such as headache, eyes soreness, neckache, dizziness, chronic muscle pain, numbness around wrists or feet. In severe cases, it may cause the muscles to contract and hold tight. Therefore, understanding the cause can prevent the danger from this illness. The objectives of this research are to study the behaviors causing Office syndrome in Thai by evaluating the basic knowledge of Office syndrome and inform the useful information to prevent the danger of Office syndrome. 312 participants in the age range of 20-40 years answered the online questionnaire as a tool for data collection. The questionnaire is included 3 sections, 1) personal data, 2) the risks of Office syndrome in each person, and 3) basic knowledge of Office syndrome. The results showed that most of the research participants are female, age between 20-27 years old, and work 5-8 hours a day. 224 people are at a high risk of back pain from Office syndrome and only 83 people have received the basic knowledge of Office syndrome. There are 183 people aware of the Office syndrome symptom. This study found that some participants have well-knowledge about Office syndrome but some still misunderstanding the symptoms of the illness. Therefore, the organizations such as companies or schools should provide basic knowledge and quality Office equipment in workplaces to reduce the risks of Office syndrome and create good habits for their people.

Full textAbstract:
With specific regard to interstates in the rural area, Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has expressed a need for research that sheds light on this Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) issue so the agency [INDOT and the contractor] can make informed decisions regarding the crossover sections versus the closure in one direction with detour roads. A number of studies have investigated the advantages and disadvantages of various MOT strategies; however, there is no specific study that can help INDOT traffic engineers and design engineers make decisions by comparing direct and indirect benefits of crossovers and detours (full lane closures). This research examined the advantages and disadvantages of entirely closing one direction of traffic over traditional work zone techniques (such as partial lane closure through median crossover) from the perspectives of the agency, road users, and the community. In the case of full closure, the study (a) examined the alternative MOT strategies and best practices through an extensive literature review and survey of agencies (b) investigated risk, benefit, and costs associated with selected detour routes (c) validated the identified critical factors through case studies in Indiana and at other states, and (d) implemented best practices in an expected project to evaluate the safety, mobility, and cost benefits of closing one direction. Through the literature review and four case studies, eleven KPIs for MOT strategy developments were identified. This study prioritized these KPIs through the survey questionnaire. The top five KPIs are (1) safety, (2) mobility, (3) budget constraint, (4) project duration, (5) complexity of project sites. Based on these KPIs and other findings presented in Section 4.3.3, this study has proposed a comparison tool for predetermined MOT strategies in the form of a flow-chart. This tool is followed by the scores or weights associated with each KPI. These scores are normalized—i.e., the most important KPI which is safety, has the maximum weightage 1 and rest of the KPIs are weighed relatively. INDOT has a set of editable documents which are references for making MOT decisions. This proposed flow-chart tool will “walk” the INDOT team through the use of these spreadsheets corresponding to the identified KPIs through this study. It will be at the discretion of the INDOT team as to which KPIs are relevant to the situation at hand. Therefore, the flow-chart tool is flexible to incorporate the dynamic nature of MOT strategy selection.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the issue of a cloud-based learning system implementation as a powerful strategy for future specialists’ training at higher educational establishments. Using cloud computing in self-work management of the university courses is essential to equip students with a workload of appropriate educational materials and variable activities for professional training. Theoretical and empirical research methods were applied to select the appropriate services and tools for organizing students’ self-work at university. Critical analysis of scientific literature, synthesis of the data, didactic observation of the educational process, designing of the skeleton for university courses, questionnaires enabled to facilitate the study of the issue. G Suite has been chosen to enhance the quality of training of prospective specialists at a higher educational establishment. This paper introduces the outcomes of the project on applying Google Classroom in the management of students’ self-work while studying university courses. The focus of the first stage of the project was on testing pilot versions of the courses with the aim to work out the requirements and recommendations for incorporation general blended learning model of university courses. Particular attention is drawn to the designed model of the university course based on the curriculum with the necessary components of blended learning in the G Suite virtual environment. Cloud-based higher education is considered as a prospective tool for design of university courses with the need for further research and implementation.
