Macroergonomics is concerned with the analysis, design, and evaluation of work systems, where two or more people interact with some kind of job design, hardware, software, internal or external environment, or organisational design. Systems Thinking is used to understand this interaction and combination. This may be as simple as understanding a human individual using a hand tool, or as complex as a multinational organisation.

In this course you will examine the concepts and applications of sociotechnical methods, participatory ergonomics, integrated organizational interventions and organizational effectiveness. You will apply macro ergonomic methods and system thinking to design enhanced safety, training, performance, and job satisfaction, which are the expected outcomes of macro ergonomics.
