Abstract
This study proposes a network-based training strategy to improve the team situation awareness (TSA) of crews in complex socio-technical systems. Eighty-four participants were recruited and divided into twenty-one teams to receive different trainings, including network-less training (NLT), information network-based training (IBT), and information-social network-based training (ISBT). Simulated tasks were performed under both routine working and emergency scenarios. Subjective measures and behavioural measures were used to assess TSA, team task performance, and team mental workload. The experimental results indicate that the network-based training can significantly enhance TSA. Moreover, ISBT teams performed better than IBT teams in both routine working and emergency scenarios while outperformed NLT teams only in the emergency scenario. In addition, the IBT and ISBT proposed in this study did not result in higher team workload costs when enhancing TSA. This study provides new insights into enhancing TSA through optimising team training.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
