Summary: "While its importance is widely recognized, the theoretical basis and practical applications of Activity Theory have not yet been firmly established in the field of human factors and ergonomics, experimental, and work psychology. This book presents the foundations of the systemic-structural theory of human activity. It contains multiple practical examples of systemic-structural theory of activity analyses, including a study of production operations in the manufacturing environment, system safety evaluation, work improvement, equipment design, robot system performance, and design of human/computer interaction tasks in the context of training, efficiency, work motivation, fatigue, personality, and individual style of performance."--Publisher description.
