Preface
The discipline of human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) is concerned with the
design of products, process, services, and work systems to assure their productive,
safe, and satisfying use by people. Physical ergonomics involves the design of
working environments to fit human physical abilities. By understanding the con-
straints and capabilities of the human body and mind, we can design products,
services, and environments that are effective, reliable, safe, and comfortable for
everyday use. A thorough understanding of the physical characteristics of a wide
rangeofpeopleisessential inthedevelopmentofconsumerproductsandsystems.
Human performance data serve as valuable information to designers and help
ensurethatthefinalproductswillfitthetargetedpopulationofendusers.Mastering
physicalergonomicsandsafetyengineeringconceptsisfundamentaltothecreation
of products and systems that people can use, avoidance of stresses, and mini-
mizationoftheriskforaccidents.Thisbookfocusesontheadvancesinthephysical
HF/E,whichareacriticalaspectinthedesignofanyhuman-centeredtechnological
system.
An exploration of how ergonomics can contribute to the solution of important
societal and engineering challenges, advances in social and organizational factors
discussestheoptimizationofsociotechnicalsystems,includingtheirorganizational
structures, policies, and processes. It includes coverage of communication, crew
resource management, work design, design of working times, teamwork, partici-
patory design, community ergonomics, cooperative work, new work paradigms,
organizational culture, virtual organizations, telework, and quality management.
Thebookalsohighlightsissueswithspecialpopulations,detailinghowtodesign
and adapt products and work situations for these groups. In addition to exploring
the challenges faced in optimizing sociotechnical systems, the book underlines
themesthatplayaroleinallthechallengesandhowtheyarelinkedtoeachother.It
concludes with an exploration of emotional ergonomics and the important positive
effectsofmakingpeoplehappyandhealthy. Withchapterauthorsfromaroundthe
globe, the book supplies a broad look at current challenges and possible solutions.
This book contains a total of ten sections that covers the following topics.
