Summary:
In work environments worldwide, the ways in which people think, do
their jobs, and interface with other human beings grow out of their
experiences in the groups of which they are a part. How these
influences affect their performance and human interfacing in work
environments throughout the world is the subject of cultural
ergonomics. In this volume, scientists explore these cultural
influences in relation to significant current concerns of ergonomics
and human factors. These include scientific-philosophical
considerations, aircraft safety, maritime safety, cross-national
training, effective use of the world-wide web, multinational decision
making, Third World industrial development, implementation of
technology transfer, and the functioning of multicultural teams.
