Opis

The analysis of the various components of human work is the most important approach to a systematic study of people at work. This approach is aimed at the examination of individual activities with respect to the role they play in the conflict of humanitarian, economic, and technical aspects of work. The main objective of this title, which was first published in 1989, was to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia who were interested in ergonomics and psychological aspects of job analysis. This title will be of particular interest to students of human resource management.
