Human Factors in Organizational Design and Management – Xi Nordic Ergonomics

چکیده
This paper analyses two proposals that seek to contribute to sustainability from an HFE perspective: ergoecology and green ergonomics. It presents both approaches, their principles, purposes, and fields of application, thereafter dealing with their context of emergence, and overlaps in purpose, principles, and shared values. The principles of ergoecology are given as a framework for developing analytical or practical actions while the principles of green ergonomics are given as guidelines for proposing concrete interventions. Social responsibility and environmental/ecospheric responsibility are the leading threads of ergoecology and green ergonomics, embedded in several values. Implications of these synergies for HFE are outlined.

Constantly increasing and more complex information flows in industrial control rooms raise the risk that operators will become distracted, confused, and visually overloaded during demanding situations. New multimodal interfaces could offer better solutions. In this work, we focus on alarm sound design. Alarms serve to alert operators to deviations from normal conditions and enable operators to ...

Background and Aims: Macro Ergonomics is a socio-technical approach that deals with organizational, and work system design, as well as the design of human-machine, human-environment, and human-job interactions. Researches shows that workplace macroeconomic’ conditions have undesirable effects on employees’ health, and hospital staff experience high levels of occupational stress and high prevale...
