The culture at work: cultural ergonomics

Abstract With the subject matter of ergonomics increasingly broadly conceived, a need is suggested for the systematization and codification of cultural influences on the wide-ranging elements of the field. Pertinent types of systematic analysis, basic and applied research, and training are viewed as necessary, both (a) to generate new knowledge, and (b) to develop culturally appropriate user applications that are important for varied work environments world-wide.
