{"product_id":"a-systemic-structural-theory-of-activity","title":"A Systemic-Structural Theory of Activity","description":"The last several decades have demonstrated dramatic technological changes that influence work conditions in all applied domains, including manufacturing, transportation, and human-computer interactions. These changes require new approaches to the study of human performance. Activity theory, in particular has become increasingly popular with those who study human work dynamics.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Systemic-Structural Theory of Activity: Applications to Human Performance and Work Design \u003c\/b\u003ediscusses general activity theory (AT) and introduces systematic structural activity theory (SSAT) and its applications to the study of human work.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book 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, and robot system performance. It also provides examples of the design of human\/computer interaction tasks, training, efficiency, work motivation, fatigue, personality, and individual style of performance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book addresses the wide audience of psychologists working in fields such as Industrial\/Organizational Psychology, Experimental, and Cognitive Psychology. It can also be of use to computer science specialists and other professionals who study human work activity and education.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57536503054709,"sku":"9780849397646","price":67.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780849397646.jpg?v=1788186429","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/a-systemic-structural-theory-of-activity","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
