proposed. Introduction to Telematics or Burotics, by Artur Nunes The automation of offices
is directly related to the volume of written information from companies.
In the past, it was characterized by a slow process of use and a large accumulation of
resources (telephone, photocopier, fax, typewriter) and paper. The term automation
The term 'offices' has a quite broad meaning, being able to refer to everything from
a simple text processing to an integrated information system, where all the
the process of treatment and flow of information is done electronically. The replacement of
the traditional method by the automated one, faster and more productive, must take into account factors
socio-economic and the existence of a culture not very accustomed to benefits
provided by IT. Furthermore, organizations aspire to the speed of access
with the maximum information possible, aiming for the prosperity of the company and its
success in the market. The arrival of office automation and its implementation increasingly
but more widespread seem to be the key to competitiveness. Page 187 of 230

Due to the conveniences of microcomputing concerning the great diversity of


equipment at previously unaffordable prices, small and medium enterprises are beginning to have
access to the advantages of office automation. The main reason for adoption is the better
time management of office workers, once acquiring the system, this

a set of knowledge: know-how and knowing how to be. However, the
basic knowledge cannot be underestimated by new technologies. Even with a
automatic spell checker, the secretary, whose essential role is to manipulate the
information must have a certain number of essential skills, as we have already mentioned
previously: The perfect knowledge of the language, both in oral and written form; The
mastery of the keyboard and mouse; Appreciation for well-done work The sense of organization for everyone

6 THE BEGINNING OF MECHANIZATION The first types of machines to emerge in the office,
In the late 19th century, there were the typewriter, the adding machine, and the calculator. The introduction
the other types of machines was an event, one could almost say contemporary, in
special, starting from the end of the last Great War, 1939/45. This is the time that marks the
the transition from traditional methods, generalized under the name of pen systems and the
ink, for the mechanics. Next comes the replacement of shorthand with the recorder of
the documents can be reproduced using the duplicator, the offset and the
photocopier; and, similarly, more specialized machines emerge, aiming at mechanization and
addressing, enveloping and sealing of correspondence; the files become
microfilmed; confidential documents and others without utility are destroyed; the notes and
the coins are counted and packaged by mechanical processes, etc. AND THEN ( ) The
progresses verified by Accounting, Statistics and Labor Organization, as well as
due to the emergence of new techniques in Management, Marketing, and Public Relations,
they demanded that the office work be valued in order to respond to so many requests
and demands. Furthermore, it is convenient to remember that we live in a time where the
productivity is a constant concern and, as is the case in other sectors, the only
the way for administrative tasks to reach acceptable levels of performance will be to choose
due to automation. These are the main reasons that compelled the valuation of the functions of
office, which began to function as a vital center, becoming, in all aspects,
as the essential element by allowing the connection between all internal structures
of the company, essential for the performance of relations with the outside, especially regarding what

training of young people, to whom an updated teaching scheme should be given, well
like a solid education. ( ) The teaching reported to the past will have to give preference to a
motivating guidance that leads students to think. Nonetheless, the importance of what

not adopting these innovations, which will structurally transform the office environment

for 5 days of the week. For this reason, it is advisable to be cautious of situations that us
cause discomfort (physical and psychological). Being a good professional implies being a good
performance in our professional activity. However, this performance is affected by
various factors, from personal ones (health issues, family problems, etc.) to those that
result from the workplace itself, due to being unappealing, not offering conditions

existing, so that the lighting is suitable for the task performed, to eliminate or
reduce ambient noise. To summarize: in the design of the workplace, whether in the delimitation and
use of the facilities or on the equipment to be acquired must be taken into consideration
ergonomic measures. These measures are called ergonomic because they contribute to
create good material and physical working conditions, which will not only provide greater well-

productivity of work and, consequently, increase the profitability of the organization. The
the choice of the location where the office activity will take place must be in a space
where we can count on numerous conditions that make it an attractive area and
motivating, that contributes to: The improvement of human means, The maximization of
yield from material resources (furniture and equipment), Make the most of
allocated space; Minimize useless time, usually consumed by personnel circulation

to create good working conditions, particularly those related to lighting,

principles are referred to as Ergonomic Principles and resulted from the development of a
new science: Ergonomics. Medicine has been concerned with the need to
creation of good working conditions, as a consequence of the increasing situations of
stress, of hearing and visual impairments, as well as situations of occupational disease such as
results of an aggressive workplace for the professionals who operate in it. A
Ergonomics is the science that studies humans in the workplace in order to ensure
your physical integrity and provide you with well-being, which involves design, structuring and
organization of the environmental conditions of the workplace and the use of equipment
that contribute to developing correct body positions and to minimizing some of the
effects that working conditions have on our health. The objective of Ergonomics is to
create an inviting and welcoming workspace, while simultaneously ensuring that the
efforts expended by workers are not increased. The brightness, the noise, the
the color, the design of the equipment, the organization of the workspace, are, among others, factors
that influence people's ability to work, either because they prevent their
concentration, either because they contribute to inadequate body postures. Having in
considering the main objective of Ergonomics, the application of Ergonomic Principles in
The workplace also contributes to increasing the profitability of the organization in
consequence of more efficient performances by workers who feel
well in your workplace. Regarding the administrative workplace, it is important to mention the
importance of environmental factors such as: Lighting, Color, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and the
Noise. Lighting: When insufficient, it demands greater effort from the worker, reflecting on
various vision problems (e.g. tired eyes), headaches, and other situations
of discomfort. In these situations, work capacity and also health are affected.
The ideal lighting differs: from activity to activity, from the type of work to be performed and from
dimension of detail to be perceived. The lighting should be greater for meticulous work,
that require permanent visual concentration, when the contrast between the object is weak
to handle and the background where it is located, when the objects move quickly
execution conditions of the task, namely, those related to the angle of incidence
of the luminous focus on the worker's eyes or on the object to be handled. As well as the
worker's age. Thus, higher levels of lighting should be directly
proportional to the worker's age. Page 196 of 230

The light must shine on the work object and make the surface where it is, a
angle understood between 30 and 60 degrees. The light source must be located to the left of
operator, and vice versa for left-handed people, so that the arm does not interpose between the
light source and the work to be performed. Possible sources of glare should be avoided.
or chaining, which will be greater the higher the luminance (result of
process of reflection of light when it reaches a surface) of surfaces. Surfaces
Rough surfaces reflect light with more difficulty than smooth ones, producing lower luminance,
logo, less discomfort. In the workplace, one can rely on natural and artificial light. For
a good use of natural light, the place must be spacious and carry open spaces for the
street, at least, with an area of one sixth of the ground area. Due to the natural light being very
variable (during the day and throughout the seasons of the year) it becomes necessary to rely on light
artificial, in order to ensure equal lighting conditions throughout the entire working period.
Of all the forms of artificial light, fluorescent is commonly used because it is less
aggressive and, simultaneously, more intense and more economical. Color: This has direct effects
whether in the level of illumination of the spaces or in the state of mind of individuals. The colors
clear, because they have a weak absorption capacity and a high degree of reflection of
light, increase the brightness of the space, unlike dark colors. Light colors
they still have the property of creating a sense of space and are less aggressive

It means that light colors are ideal for all workplaces, although in
generality should be the most used and advised. The use of only light colors,
causing a monochromatic effect, it can also become aggressive due to the feeling of
monotony and routine that can be transmitted. For this reason, it is important that the workplace
be equipped with material that contrasts with the color of the environment and be brightened with
color notes, whether they are a painting on the wall, a picture, a vase, airiness and
air conditioning: A good work environment requires that we feel comfortable, that is,
there is a pleasant and light atmospheric environment. For this feeling of well-being
contributes an adequate temperature (including the level of humidity) and an effective process of
circulation and renewal of air. The temperature should be around 18/20 degrees Celsius. Having
considering that the outside temperature in our country also varies throughout the day and the year, the
the design of the workplace should provide for the existence of instruments (fans, air
air conditioning, climate controllers, etc.) that ensure a constant and mild temperature for
long period of work, coupled with an architecture and construction also with these
concerns. Page 197 of 230

12 For good air circulation, the location should have windows in surface and number
suitable. However, if opening the window also contributes to altering the ideal conditions of
Temperature and humidity should be avoided. Noise: Man can only withstand a certain
noise intensity and beyond that, it presents difficulties in concentration, it becomes
irritable and presenting hearing deficiencies, increasingly severe according to exposure
prolonged to noise. Considering that any work situation, and not just work
intellectual, as in the case of secretarial work, requires great concentration and relaxation,
we recognize the importance of this aspect in the good functioning of the organization. The Legislative Decree
No. 182/2006 establishes that the equivalent continuous sound level for a work period
normal of eight hours, should be less than 80 db. The noise can lead to the development of
a conflicting climate exacerbates situations of discomfort and reduced hearing ability. These
effects on individuals, resulting from aggressive, very intense and continuous noises have
immediate effects on health and also on productive capacity, with consequences of
profitability in the organization. Efforts have been made through construction and architecture (process
of soundproofing), of the resistance of materials (such as cork, expanded polystyrene) to noise, whether
originating from outside or from within the building, resulting from normal use of the
equipment (machines, utensils and furniture). Regarding this last aspect, it is chosen

own enclosures. The most bothersome internal noises are conversations and external ones.

workspaces, workloads, factors that give rise to LMERT (Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders)

equipment, materials, and work instruments. Hence the importance of space management
and the equipment. The choice of equipment must adhere to effectiveness conditions,
contributing to maximize the yield of the activity carried out with minimum expenditure of
resources. The acquisition of new technologies requires the company to take actions to
professional training, providing its users with the necessary skills.

some mandatory requirements, otherwise it will lead to unnatural body postures, with
the consequent sequelae (LMERT Work-related Musculoskeletal Injuries)

adjustable, suitable for correct positioning of the spine; An adjustable seat,
allowing the individual to sit in such a way that the elbows are slightly above
the tabletop; A seat whose shape contributes to a distribution of the body's weight
over the entire surface. Lastly, regarding the office space, it is essential that
each professional has their own space and that their transportation (e.g. motor disabilities

The issues related to Mental Load may arise from the amount and speed of
information to receive and/or process and the simultaneity of receiving information from different
sources, or a high level of attention required. Mental load, stress or burnout 12 are
common words in this context. The much talked about professional stress is one of the major problems
current of the most developed societies, where the world of work is characterized by
change of knowledge and practices, through competition, through technological changes and
organizational and by job precariousness. All working conditions, when not
adapted to humans, can become stress-inducing elements, thus, it no longer becomes
a problem not only in the field of health but also in ergonomics and management. There are
different degrees of stress until reaching burnout and can be caused by various
causes or agents. Those that matter in professional terms are those referred to by
microstressors, that is, small everyday events that annoy us, such as
for example, meeting deadlines, postponing urgent matters, etc. It does not exist
no device that measures or detects stress! This control must be exercised by the
application of various methods and by the cooperation between the various constituents of a
organization (Management, staff, workers, union delegates, occupational physician, Manager
from HR). When someone at a certain moment starts to feel the effects (headache,
arrhythmias, fatigue) from the accumulation of microstressors, that is, it recognizes the existence of this
situation, should initiate a change in behaviors that may be worsening the
the same, such as practicing sports regularly; taking small breaks at work; decreasing
perfectionism; enjoy a mini-vacation, among others. 12 Consequence of professional stress;
physiological, psychological, behavioral, and social suffering, in the short or medium/long term, can
culminate in exhaustion.
