Workload Transition: Implications for Individual and Team Performance


Add your own review!

Overview

Workload transition is a potentially crucial problem in work situations wherein operators are faced with abrupt changes in task demands. People involved include military combat personnel, air-traffic controllers, medical personnel in emergency rooms and long-distance drivers. They must be able to respond efficiently to sudden increases in workload imposed by a failure, crisis, or other, often unexpected, event. This book provides a systematic evaluation of workload transition. It focuses on a broad spectrum of activities ranging from team co-operation to the maintenance of this problem on a theoretical level and offers several practical solutions. The book should be of interest to human factors/ergonomics specialists and to experimental psychologists and managers concerned with workload scheduling.
