Cognition Technology & Work

英文简介

Focus: Cognition, Technology & Work focuses on the practical issues of human interaction with technology within the context of work and, in particular, how human cognition affects, and is affected by, work and working conditions. The aim is to publish research that normally resides on the borderline between people, technology, and organisations. Including how people use information technology, how experience and expertise develop through work, and how incidents and accidents are due to the interaction between individual, technical and organisational factors. The target is thus the study of people at work from a cognitive systems engineering and socio-technical systems perspective. The most relevant working contexts of interest to CTW are those where the impact of modern technologies on people at work is particularly important for the users involved as well as for the effects on the environment and plants. Modern society has come to depend on the safe and efficient functioning of a multitude of technological systems as diverse as industrial production, transportation, communication, supply of energy, information and materials, health and finance. In particular, the working contexts where such impact is most relevant are, amongst others:· aviation, rail, maritime and road systems· medical and hospital environments· energy production and nuclear power plants· household and social contexts· plus other contexts where popular technology is being constantly utilised for everyday activities.The journal will also study how “operators” interact with technologies, such as pilots, drivers, plant and traffic controllers, maintenance engineers, doctors, and nurses, etc. while also including the users affected by the systems, such as passengers, patients and people in general.Motivation: Human work has irreversibly become work with technology and the nature of work has changed to make the role of human cognition more important. In the most affected environments, the human component is relevant both for the interactions of humans with control systems and for the effects that these interactions may have on the general public at large.People who work with technology are tightly coupled with it and must come to terms with the complexity of the socio-technical environment in order to ensure that their work is effective, safe and efficient.Consequently, understanding and analysing the joint functioning of people and socio-technical development, operation and maintenance systems, is the first key motivation of the studies proposed by CTW. This requires a multi-disciplinary approach, which combines the analysis of individuals with the study of technology and organisations.The second relevant motivation of CTW is that methods and methodologies proposed and applied in field studies must be able to be reproduced and implemented by readers in order to be really effective and useful. Therefore, the peculiarity of combining consolidated theoretical frameworks, with relevant implementations in real working contexts, and the assessment of results is essential for reaching the impact necessary to maintain the Journal at the edge of applied research and practical implementation that represent the major aim of CTW.

中文简介

重点：认知、技术与工作侧重于人类与技术在工作环境中相互作用的实际问题，特别是人类认知如何影响和受工作和工作条件的影响。其目的是公布研究成果，这些研究成果通常位于人、技术和组织之间的边界。包括人们如何使用信息技术，如何通过工作发展经验和专业知识，以及事故和事故是如何由个人、技术和组织因素之间的相互作用造成的。因此，目标是从认知系统工程和社会技术系统的角度研究工作中的人。CTW感兴趣的最相关工作环境是现代技术对工作人员的影响对相关用户以及对环境和工厂的影响尤为重要的工作环境。现代社会已经开始依赖于多种技术系统的安全和高效运行，这些系统包括工业生产、运输、通信、能源供应、信息和材料、卫生和金融。尤其是，此类影响最为相关的工作环境包括：·航空、铁路、海事和道路系统·医疗和医院环境·能源生产和核电厂·家庭和社会背景·此外，在日常活动中还经常使用流行技术。该期刊还将研究“运营商”如何与飞行员、驾驶员、工厂和交通管制员、维修工程师、医生和护士等技术进行互动，同时也包括受系统影响的用户，如乘客、患者和一般人。动机：人类的工作已经不可逆转地成为技术性的工作，工作的性质也发生了变化，使人类认知的作用更加重要。在受影响最严重的环境中，人的组成部分既与人类与控制系统的相互作用有关，也与这些相互作用可能对一般公众产生的影响有关。从事技术工作的人与技术紧密结合，必须适应社会技术环境的复杂性，以确保他们的工作有效、安全和高效。因此，理解和分析人与社会技术发展、运行和维护系统的联合功能是CTW提出的研究的第一个主要动机。这需要一个多学科的方法，它结合了个人的分析与技术和组织的研究。CTW的第二个相关动机是，在实地研究中提出和应用的方法和方法必须能够被读者复制和实施，才能真正有效和有用。因此，将综合理论框架与实际工作环境中的相关实施相结合，并对结果进行评估的特性，对于达到使期刊保持在应用研究和实际实施的边缘所需的影响至关重要，而这正是CTW的主要目标。
