Resumo:
The purpose of this research is to generate ergonomic recommendations, based on
neuroscience principles applied to design in home office environments and, in order
to achieve this goal, a path was followed, initially through a bibliographic survey of
the themes: home office, seeking to understand its historical evolution up to the
current context of the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, which culminated in its
expansion and modification of individuals' work and behavioral patterns; ergonomics,
understanding its applications and functioning and; neuroscience applied to design,
assimilating memory, emotion and the relationship with the user experience. The next
step was to carry out a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), arriving at six questions,
which configured the definition of search strings used in the CAPES periodicals,
Scopus and Scielo databases. The data generated served to support the design of
recommendations aimed at a safer and more comfortable work dynamic in the home
office, guaranteeing the quality of life, health and well-being of these professionals. It
was possible to generate important reflections on all the content covered,
contributing to theoretical and practical issues by bringing together cognitive,
behavioral, organizational and physical elements. Limiting factors were identified for
the development of this research, the appreciation of items that constitute obstacles
to the progress of this work model and proposed for future investigations, practical
applications of pre-conceived and new concepts, confronting or complementing
them, as well as identifying ways of popularizing the results obtained to promote
adherence by the people involved in this dynamic.
