Employees Cognitive Measurement By Typing Time

Abstract

Activity performed by administration staffs like typing work involves a delicate interaction between perceptual, cognitive and motoric processes. For completing this type of work requires a holistic comprehension about the job which involving coordination of speed and precision. Therefore, this research tries to study about cognitive performance measurement by employing typing time scaling. There were 60 participants involved in this research with three different backgrounds from employees, university students, and lecturers. They asked to type the provided draft then their time will be calculated by the researchers to measure how many mistakes that they have done while typing the document. This study found result that participant’s background gives a sound contribution in time record and typing error made by the participants. Three categories are found in time and typing errors by their own standard level based on time recording and typing results. However, this research needs plenty more follow ups such as more proportional selection of participants by using larger samples to have lots of variety in results.
