Understanding and incorporating wearable exoskeleton design acceptance into the construction and manufacturing industries by evaluating key stakeholders within an enterprise organization

Reese, Matthew 10 May 2024 (has links) (PDF)
Safety, quality, and production are critical factors that impact an enterprise organization’s success in industries where tasks are human-centered. One emerging area to help mitigate safety related concerns while enhancing quality and production is wearable technology. More specifically, studies have shown that wearable exoskeletons can prevent awkward posturing and excessive bending and reaching tasks. These are areas that can result in injuries and lost time for employees. While literature has shown that these devices can help prevent injuries and can assist employees with their job tasks, these devices are new, which can make critical stakeholders of an enterprise organization skeptical about adopting these devices. This dissertation studies the technology acceptance of the front-line workforce, human resources (HR), and subject matter experts (SMEs) within the industrial sector.
