Preview Ergonomic Insights Successes and Failures of Work Design
Ergonomic Insights This book provides a great collection of work design testimonies with transferable lessons across many industry sectors and domains. It discusses physiological and cognitive parameters, teamwork, social aspects, and organisational and broader fac- tors that influence work design initiatives. It is important to learn from practitioner stories and real-world conditions that affect the theoretical applications of work design. Readers will benefit from under- standing the struggles and successes of the authors. The chapters cover a wide spec- trum of human factors and user needs, including decision-making in ( ab) normal and safety-critical situations, physical ergonomics, d esign- in-use modifications, and tai- lored training. The text examines holistic approaches that lead to improved work methods, worker engagement, and effective system-wide interventions. Ergonomic Insights: Successes and Failures of Work Design is primarily written for professionals and graduate students in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, and occupational health and safety. Educators will also benefit from using these case studies in class lessons. Workplace Insights: Real-World Health, Safety, Well-being, and Human Performance Cases Series Editors: Nektarios Karanikas and Sara Pazell The aim of the series is to host and disseminate real-world case studies at workplaces with a focus on balancing technical information with honest insights and reflections. Further, the application of a work design framework will propel this series into the literary crossover of traditional occupational health, safety, well-being, human fac- tors engineering, or organisational sciences, into a design realm like no other series has done. Each book in this series will include cases sharing the tools and approaches applied per the work ( re) design stages (Discovery, Design, Realisation). They will inform the readers with a complete picture and comprehensive understanding of the what’s and why’s of successful and “ failed” attempts to improve the work health, safety, well-being, and performance within organisations.
