Abstract
Recent technological developments have stimulated the use of computer aided manufacturing (CAM) machinery in industrial settings. Though managers typically consider technical and economic factors in the implementation of CAM, they rarely consider the psychological implications of work in CAM. Recent research indicates that work in CAM may have unintended negative impacts on worker well-being. This paper reviews and evaluates empirical research concerning the impacts of work in CAM on worker well-being, and suggests directions for future research in this area.Keywords
