Research in the context of a semiconductor factory is a challenging but important endeavor. In our studies we investigated experiences of two different working groups: operators and shift leads. By means of a creative card approach we asked participants to express themselves and explain their viewpoints concerning work in the semiconductor factory. To complement the qualitative results with quantitative data, the results were transferred into follow-up questionnaires. Based on our results, we describe operators' and shift leads' everyday experiences in the semiconductor factory as well as contextual influences on it. Our work contributes towards a better understanding of the semiconductor factory from a worker's point of view, providing a basis to improve workers' daily experiences and foster work performance.
