"Peopleware" doesn't really refer to either software or hardware. Software and hardware are two of the basic components of a computer system and 'peopleware' refers to the third - the role of humans in the development and use of hardware and software. Although the term seems to have been invented in the late 1970's it became popular through the publication of "Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams" by Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister in 1987. You can think of 'peopleware' as anything to do with the behaviour and collaboration of humans in the development and use of computer systems.
