- Abstract:
- This study explores the relationship of Human Factors to operational effectiveness and efficiency, and overall organizational learning. The role of human error within complex technical systems is explored with particular emphasis placed on the dynamics of organizational weaknesses and that which can be learned from lessons of the past. The main conclusions of this mixed method study is that where there are interruptions in work, attention needs to be moved away from the level of the operator to the wider managerial and environmental frameworks within which individuals work.
