Human-Computer Interaction in Information Systems

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) plays a vital role in how individuals and organizations use information systems. As technology becomes more integrated into everyday life and work, understanding how people interact with computers is critical to designing systems that are effective, intuitive, and ethical. This paper explores the relationship between HCI and Information Systems (IS), tracing its evolution from early command-line interfaces to today’s adaptive, intelligent, and mobile systems. It discusses core principles of usability, accessibility, feedback, and consistency, as well as emerging challenges involving ethics, privacy, and artificial intelligence. The paper argues that effective HCI design requires not only technical skill but also an appreciation of human psychology, behavior, and ethics. By analyzing both foundational theory and recent developments, it emphasizes that successful information systems are those that truly serve human needs.
