Ergonomia e princípios da neurociência aplicados ao design de home office

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to generate ergonomic recommendations, based on neuroscience principles applied to design in home office environments and, in order to achieve this goal, a path was followed, initially through a bibliographic survey of the themes: home office, seeking to understand its historical evolution up to the current context of the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, which culminated in its expansion and modification of individuals' work and behavioral patterns; ergonomics, understanding its applications and functioning and; neuroscience applied to design, assimilating memory, emotion and the relationship with the user experience. The next step was to carry out a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), arriving at six questions, which configured the definition of search strings used in the CAPES periodicals, Scopus and Scielo databases. The data generated served to support the design of recommendations aimed at a safer and more comfortable work dynamic in the home office, guaranteeing the quality of life, health and well-being of these professionals. It was possible to generate important reflections on all the content covered, contributing to theoretical and practical issues by bringing together cognitive, behavioral, organizational and physical elements. Limiting factors were identified for the development of this research, the appreciation of items that constitute obstacles to the progress of this work model and proposed for future investigations, practical applications of pre-conceived and new concepts, confronting or complementing them, as well as identifying ways of popularizing the results obtained to promote adherence by the people involved in this dynamic.
