This paper extends an earlier examination of the concept of 'mesoergonomics' (Karsh et al., 2014) and its application to Human Factors/Ergonomics (HFE). Karsh et al. (2014) developed a framework for mesoergonomic inquiry based on a set of steps and questions, the purpose of which was to encourage researchers to cross system levels in the studies (e.g., organisation-group-individual levels of analysis) and to explore alternative causal mechanisms and relationships within their data. The present paper further develops the framework and draws on previous work across a diverse range of sources (safety science, systems theory, the sociology of disaster and ethology) which has examined the subject of accident causation, levels of analysis and explanatory factors contributing to system failure. The outcomes from this exercise are a revised framework which seeks to explore what we term 'isomorphisms' and includes questions covering: (a) how internal isomorphisms develop or evolve within the system; and, (b) how these isomorphisms are shaped by cultural, professional and other forms of external influence. The workings of the revised framework are illustrated through using the example of the UK NHS Morecambe Bay Investigation (Kirkup, 2015). The paper concludes with a summary of ways forward for the framework, as well as new directions for theory within systems ergonomics/human factors.

系统人体工程学中的因果关系,分析和解释水平-仔细查看英国NHS莫克姆湾的调查。

本文扩展了对“人机工程学”概念的早期研究(Karsh等人,2014年)及其在人因/人机工程学(HFE)中的应用。Karsh等。(2014年)基于一系列步骤和问题开发了人机工程学探究框架,其目的是鼓励研究人员跨研究的各个系统层面(例如,组织-群体-个人层面的分析)并探索替代因果关系数据中的机制和关系。本文件进一步发展了该框架,并借鉴了来自各种来源(安全科学,系统理论,灾难社会学和伦理学)的先前工作,该研究检查了事故原因,分析水平和对系统有贡献的解释因素失败。此练习的结果是一个经过修订的框架,旨在探索我们所谓的“同构”,其中包括以下问题:(a)内部同构如何在系统中发展或演化;(b)这些同构是如何受到文化,专业和其他形式的外部影响的影响的。通过使用英国NHS莫克姆湾调查(Kirkup,2015年)的示例来说明修订后的框架的工作。本文最后总结了该框架的发展方向,以及系统人体工程学/人为因素中理论的新方向。专业和其他形式的外部影响。通过使用英国NHS莫克姆湾调查(Kirkup,2015年)的示例来说明修订后的框架的工作。本文总结了该框架的发展方向以及系统人体工程学/人为因素中理论的新方向。专业和其他形式的外部影响。通过使用英国NHS莫克姆湾调查(Kirkup,2015年)的示例来说明修订后的框架的工作。本文总结了该框架的发展方向以及系统人体工程学/人为因素中理论的新方向。
