Staging the workplace design process: The role of ergonomists

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review

Abstract

The work practice of ergonomists in workplace-making processes was studied by a socio-technical framework. This resulted in the term 'political reflective navigator' as a conceptualization of the identified work practice and competencies. In order to strengthen the impact of ergonomists it was found that new ways and tools for influencing the workplace-making process are needed. The concept of 'staging the workplace design' is suggested as a new framework for seeing and guiding ergonomists when taking part in design of workplaces.
