| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to derive detailed work contents for each task stage of domestic designer to analyze tasks that lack work
performance level, and to analyze factors that reduce work performance level to suggest improvement measures to improve the work
performance ability of designer in the future. The main results of this study are as follows. 1) The detailed work contents of each task stage
of designer derived in this study can be used as standardized work contents to quantitatively measure and evaluate the work performance
level of designer in the future. 2) The work burden index for each task stage of designer was found to be high in the basic design stage
and the implementation design stage for both male and female designer, and tasks at the task stage with high workload and difficulty showed
high work burden index. 3) Male designer maintain a certain level of work efficiency index, but female designer have a slightly lower work
efficiency index, and in particular, female designer have a lower work efficiency index than male designer at all task levels. 4) There were
many factors related to individual competencies and capabilities and the organization's management system due to the lack of field experience
and knowledge of designer, lack of personal capacity of designer, increase in client requirements, and lack of support system of the
company. 5) Based on the results of a survey of practitioners in the design field, this study suggested practical improvement measures for
major deterioration factors in the work performance ability of designer. This study analyzed the level of work performance by job stage and
suggested improvement measures to improve work performance for male and female designer working in architect offices. However, there is
a limitation in that it was not possible to compare and analyze designer by classifying them by position, etc., and it did not specifically
present a plan to improve work performance. Therefore, follow-up studies to supplement these limitations will be continued in the future. |
