Requirements Engineering (RE) is a process that requires high collaboration between various roles in software engineering (SE), such as requirements engineers, stakeholders, developers, etc. Their demographics, views, understanding of technologies, working styles, communication and collaboration capabilities make RE highly human dependent. Identifying how human aspects such as motivation, domain knowledge, communication skills, personality, emotions, culture, etc might impact RE would help us to improve the RE activities and SE in general. The aim of this study is to understand current industry perspectives on the influence of human aspects on RE. We surveyed 111 software practitioners involved in RE activities, and our findings show that 86.4% of participants agree, that the success of RE greatly depends on the people involved in it. Software practitioners consider motivation, domain knowledge, attitude, communication skills and personality as highly important human aspects when involved in RE. A set of factors, we categorize as human/social and technical were identified as software practitioners motivation factors when involved in RE activities, where the majority of are motivated due to human/social factors. Furthermore, our findings suggest that software practitioners personality characteristics should also be paid more attention to as they are important when conducting RE effectively.

人类方面对需求工程的影响：软件从业者的视角

需求工程 (RE) 是一个需要软件工程 (SE) 中各种角色之间高度协作的过程，例如需求工程师、利益相关者、开发人员等。他们的人口统计数据、观点、对技术的理解、工作方式、沟通和协作能力使得RE 高度依赖人类。确定诸如动机、领域知识、沟通技巧、个性、情感、文化等人的方面如何影响可再生能源将有助于我们总体上改善可再生能源活动和 SE。本研究的目的是了解当前行业对人为因素对可再生能源的影响的观点。我们调查了 111 位参与 RE 活动的软件从业者，我们的调查结果显示，86.4% 的参与者同意，RE 的成功在很大程度上取决于参与其中的人。软件从业者在参与 RE 时将动机、领域知识、态度、沟通技巧和个性视为非常重要的人的方面。一组因素，我们归类为人类/社会和技术，被确定为软件从业者在参与可再生能源活动时的动机因素，其中大多数是由于人类/社会因素引起的。此外，我们的研究结果表明，软件从业者的个性特征也应该得到更多的关注，因为它们在有效实施 RE 时很重要。我们将人类/社会和技术归类为参与可再生能源活动时的软件从业者动机因素，其中大多数是由于人类/社会因素引起的。此外，我们的研究结果表明，软件从业者的个性特征也应该得到更多的关注，因为它们在有效地进行 RE 时很重要。我们将人类/社会和技术归类为参与可再生能源活动时的软件从业者动机因素，其中大多数是由于人类/社会因素引起的。此外，我们的研究结果表明，软件从业者的个性特征也应该得到更多的关注，因为它们在有效实施 RE 时很重要。
