到目前为止，很少有研究探讨安全气候与宏观人体工程学以及如何将这两个不同的子学科整合起来影响安全结果。宏观人体工程学的目的是设计一个完全“协调”的工作系统，提高组织绩效和效率的许多方面，这是通过纳入社会技术系统理论（STS）的基本理论框架来实现的。这种系统中的两个广泛的子系统是人员子系统（个人执行任务的方式）和技术子系统（要执行的任务）。管理是人事子系统的一个重要方面，关于主管对员工安全的影响的研究越来越多。其中一个研究领域是安全气候，这是基于工人对安全和组织实践的看法。安全氛围的两个主要因素是管理层对安全的承诺和与安全相关的沟通，这是高层管理人员和直接主管的真正优先事项。本文描述了宏观人机工程学和安全气候的概念重叠，以提出一个概念模型，整合这些领域使用的框架，中观人机工程学。最后，我们讨论了这个模型可以作为一个框架来指导工作系统的分析和设计，以及随后的组织干预。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
To date little research has examined safety climate in relation to macroergonomics and how the two distinct sub-disciplines can be integrated to affect safety outcomes. The purpose of macroergonomics is to design a fully "harmonized" work system that improves numerous aspects of organizational performance and effectiveness, and this is accomplished by incorporating the foundational theoretical framework of sociotechnical systems theory (STS). Two broad subsystems within such a system are the personnel subsystem, the ways individuals perform tasks, and the technological subsystem, the tasks to be performed. Management is an important aspect of the personnel subsystem, and there is a growing body of research regarding supervisors' influence over employee safety. One such area of research is safety climate, which is based on the perception of workers regarding safety and organizational practices. Two major factors of safety climate are management commitment to safety and communication pertaining to safety as a true priority from both top management and direct supervisors. This article describes the conceptual overlaps of macroergonomics and safety climate in order to present a conceptual model that integrates these domains using the framework of mesoergonomics. In conclusion, we discuss how this model can serve as a framework to guide the analysis and design of work systems and subsequent organizational interventions. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
