This special issue of the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction presents longitudinal research on quality of working life and stress in office computer work. These recent longitudinal studies examine the relation between people and their work environments in a dynamic manner. Conceptual and methodological issues related to the dynamic study of quality of working lift and stress in human-computer interaction are discussed in this article.

Employees using visual display terminals (VDI) in their work in the head office and branch offices of a Finnish insurance company were followed for 8 years. Their job satisfaction and health complaints were studied in relation to VDT-use characteristics and job demands and stressors. A total of 144 employees participated 3 times in a questionnaire survey: in 1985 before a major change was implemented m the data system used just after its implementation in 1987, and later after the gradual increase of VDT application and enlargement of the data system in 1993. Most of the employees were women (65%) in customer service work. The original group of 477 decreased to these 144 employees during the follow-up due to employees leaving the company, moving to other departments, retiring, and nonresponding. The dropouts did not differ considerably from the retainees in the central variables of the study. The follow-up results showed an increase in the daily amount of VDT work and a better mastering of VDT application...

Implementation cycles of information technologies in modern workplaces have become shorter, and employees have to constantly adapt to changing work situations. Presented here are preliminary results from a comprehensive research project. The 2nd Vienna Implementation Study, which investigated the effects on workers of continuous implementations, that is, the implementations of new information technologies on workplaces already equipped with computers. In a longitudinal research design, strain and dissatisfaction of 466 employees in 10 different companies are investigated. In each company, an implementation of a new information technology occurs during a specified time period. Seven measurements are taken over a 22-month period. Contextual factors postulated to moderate employee reactions to the new information technology include the following: type of implementation, implementation style (e.g., implementation management, participation) job profiles, external workload of employees, and personality factors....

This article reports an empirical study on effectiveness of software development teams. Itwaspredicted thatboththe extent to whieh designmethods are used and teamleaders' goal orientation is related to team effectiveness. Follow-up data (6-12 months after first assessment) were available from 25 German and Swiss software developmentprojeets. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that use of design methods and team leaders' goal orientation predicted team effideney and changeability of the software product. In addition, goal orientation predicted maintaining schedule and budget. Practical impli cations of this study refer to the necessity to consider both the use of design methods and leadership issues when aiming at effective software development projects.

In order to examine the effect of a stressor changing over time on information system professionals, a longitudinal study on work stress was conducted. Data on job events, urinary catecholamine, salivary cortisol, and subjective symptoms were collected for 10 male engineers who were observed every 2 weeks for 5 months and every week for the following 2 months. Results show that adrenaline reflects reactions to the acute job events whereas cortisol seems to capture the chronic state of work-stress reaction. This study allows us to specify the job events that affect stress, which can be useful for intervention.
