Description:... The goal of this book is to provide information systems professionals and academicians with a human factors orientation and practical guidelines relating to human factors issues. It is also intended for use as a textbook for graduate-level students. Researchers and practitioners alike understand that information systems success is very much dependent on incorporating good human factors into system design. The general introduction serves as a position treatise for the study of human factors in information systems. The disciplines of computer science, information systems, human factors engineering, and computer human interaction (CHI) are explored as contributing fields to human factors in IS (HFIS). The goal of this introduction is to differentiate HFIS from the contributing disciplines and to discuss overlapping issues and topics of focus to be addressed later in the text.
