Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference article › peer-review

Abstract

Procedures are commonly used to specify tasks in high-risk industries. Among various performance-shaping factors, time pressure has been studied as a potential contributor to procedural performance. This scoping review aimed to summarize and synthesize literature that induced and studied the role of time pressure on performance such as time, errors, and subjective workload. This review included a total of nine papers and identified that time pressure can be induced by visual component, auditory component, or a combination of both. The effect of time pressure may vary depending on the industry. While most studies in the military or medical fields have found no effect of time pressure, time pressure affects performance in nuclear power plants, aviation, and oil and gas industries.
