Métodos utilizados na Ergonomia Organizacional: revisão de literatura

“…A discussão sobre ergonomia começou por volta de 1857 (MÁSCULO; VIDAL, 2011) e passou por diversos períodos: o clássico, ocorrido na primeira metade do século XX; segunda guerra mundial em que a importância estava nos fatores humanos do pós-guerra; até chegar ao Brasil. Mais especificamente, de acordo com pesquisas publicadas, a ergonomia nasceu em 12 de julho de 1949, após a II Guerra Mundial, como consequência do trabalho interdisciplinar realizado por diversos profissionais (engenheiros, fisiologistas e psicólogos) durante a guerra (IEA, 2000;IIDA, 2005;HENDRICK;KLEINER, 2006;ABRAHÃO et al, 2009;MÁSCULO;VIDAL, 2011;MERINO, 2011).…”

Implementing 'Awakened Need of Change' for Applying Ergonomics to Work System with Macroergonomics Approach in an Industrially Developing Country and its Meta-Reflection

“…An important outcome of macroergonomics intervention is a culture change, where organizational culture is primarily defined as organization's core values, but which also includes traditions and unwritten rules [2,25]. Kleiner in Europe, there has been a strong tradition to investigate ergonomics problems within a holistic, systems context.…”
