Abstract

Work motivation amongst employees in a printing department in a printing organisation in the Western Cape. For the printing industry, ICT (Information, Communication, and Technology) have far-reaching implications for the organisation, operation, and management of printing activities. The industry is changing roles, from mere manufacturing to full-scale service provision. Digital technology is a key driver of innovation in this industry, as practically all solutions are becoming digitally integrated. This ranges from digitally generating and printing (e.g. regional and local newspapers) to digital post-press activities. Moreover, conventional printing technologies face disruptive digital technologies and services, such as e-book or print-on-demand services, and end-user devices. The market for such digital printing services is still small but growing (European Commission Enterprise & Industry, 2005).
