Trial lecture for appointment as associate professor - Anette Karltun

Welcome to attend Anette Karltun's trial lecture for appointment as associate professor!

Titel:
Human information processing at the core of work performance

Abstract:
Human activity at work is at the core of work processes that makes things happen in a production system. Activity is guided by human information processing and decision-making. However, the increasing complexity in working life due to globalisation, increasingly sophisticated technology and higher demands on competitiveness, places higher demands on human resources at work, particularly cognitive information processing resources. The human abilities and limitations in this respect therefore need to be emphasized in organizing work and providing suitable technical equipment for good outcome.

In this lecture I provide lessons learned from several research projects that highlight the needs to develop supportive conditions for human performance at work. This includes designing usability-centred technical equipment, organising work by developing supportive infrastructure as well as facilitating interactions for frontline staff, between functions and hierarchal levels in order to achieve good quality, productivity and health at work.
