Abstract:
This study aims to discover ideas for computer or mobile device software promoting the participation of employees in assessing and developing key well-being aspects of their own work. By analysing literature dealing with maturity models of organisations, we formed a list of essential words describing the main psychosocial, cultural job and leadership characteristics. The 10 words we discovered as central aspects of one’s work conditions are utilised in the software idea, called PEPADE (PErsonnel’s PArticipation in DEvelopment (of well-being and efficacy at work organisations)). PEPADE shows the evaluating employee a multimedia presentation of their workstation in their own workplace(s), a visualisation of the tangible real features of the Work System (WS) in question. In this way, we believe that intangible organisational maturity features will be a much more realistic and valid way to conduct an assessment. PEPADE is helping organisations identify the needs and ways for improvements by designing better details for the current real WS and its leadership practices. New solutions can be presented, rated, and ranked in many ways. The possibilities of PEPADE also increase the interests of personnel and the possibilities of promoting innovations related simultaneously to current and future well-being and efficacy in goods or services production.
