Abstract
Purpose: This research paper deals with the effect reflected by information technology on ergonomics. The advanced societies have developed only by virtue of their dependence on the thinkers, creative workers, and those who have productive minds. As a result of the fast development of information technology and the accompanying innovations, there has been a great role for ergonomics; in order to achieve a great deal of competitive success. This study also aspires to achieve a number of aims depending on the main hypothesis and its sub hypotheses.
Methodology: The human resources are found in a society based on development and knowledge by using modern technology. A questionnaire is used as well, as a means to collect data and information related to the sample of the study. To analyze data, many statistical procedures are used, such as 'Pearson Correlation', 'Simple Regression Coefficient', and 'T' and 'F' test to confirm the significance of the sample using SPSS 20 and EXCEL 2013. The statistical population consisted of all the staff of the Babylon University, which numbered 34 people. The statistical sample size was estimated based on Morgan table 30 people who were selected by random sampling from the statistical population.
Main Findings: These statistical procedures show a number of results. The most prominent one is that there is a relationship of statistical significance between information technology and ergonomics.
Application of Study: The problem of the study is represented by identifying the role of information technology in ergonomics throughout the tendency of the business organizations and the institutions of higher education to take care of their human resources.
Novelty/Originality: This study is the first to examine the role of information technology in ergonomics in the overall desire of commercial organizations and higher education institutions to care for human resources.
