  2. 1. Aiming at Moving Targets : Applying Cognitive Work Analysis to Work Domains in Transition

    Author : Ida Löscher; Anders Arweström Jansson; Åsa Cajander; Camilla Fröjd; Stas Krupenia; Catherine Burns; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cognitive work analysis; work domain analysis; control task analysis; strategies analysis; abstraction hierarchy; contextual activity template; activity prioritization; systems design; heavy vehicle development; long haul trucks; intensive care; nursing; digitalization.; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion;

    Abstract : The design of IT systems for complex work environments is essential for workers to be able to operate more effectively and efficiently. To design a system that supports the workers' specific tasks we need to understand the work demands and the context in which the system operates. READ MORE

  4. 2. Proactivity at work

    Author : Kin Andersson; Annika Lantz; Kerstin Isaksson; Annika Härenstam; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Job design; work task analysis; proactivity; unemployment; attitudes; personal initiative; job-search behaviour; group initiative; group processes; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Proactive behaviour implies taking initiative and mastering unexpected situations, and hence, is desirable in different situations. The present thesis includes three empirical studies intended to understand the consequences of proactive behaviour, as well as the factors that contribute to proactive behaviour at work and when facing unemployment.
