The goal for ergonomics has always been to adapt work, work
environments, and machines to humans. But is this goal still
sufficient? Does it satisfy the needs of the individual or of
societies and organizations as they operate now? Constructive
Ergonomics provides an answer to these questions. Rooted both in
the academic world and in the world of practitioners of the domain,
it details a constructive, developmental view where ergonomics
seeks to eliminate the factors and conditions that impede
performance and development. This book advocates that ergonomics
cannot remain content with a limited and static view of adaptation,
a view that would restrict its goal to designing systems that are
suited to work as it is defined at a certain point in time, to
workers as they are at a particular moment, and to organizations as
they operate here and now. Author Pierre Falzon argues that the
objective of ergonomics must be the development of individuals,
based on setting up situations of action that lead to increased
success and to the acquisition or construction of know-how,
knowledge, and skills. The global framework presented in this book
revises profoundly the goals of the discipline, elucidating a novel
approach to work, health, and performance shored up by integration
models from economics and management theory. An exploration of an
innovative, developmental view of ergonomics, the book redefines
the ambition of the discipline and describes the elements of its
scope. It provides a solid and new conceptual background and
methodological tools for intervening in real-life contexts.
