Title

A Theoretical Framework Of A Bionomic Approach To Improve Individual And Organizational Outcomes

Abstract

Human Factors often attempts to combat the effects of stress on human productivity through such tools as, automation, ergonomics, and training in the workplace but traditional human factors routes may not always be sufficient. Some organizations (e.g., military and civilian) may always suffer some degree of stress which may inadvertently disturb personal individual outcomes and resultant organizational outcomes, traditionally of macroergonomic concern. Positive bionomic effects on humans are well documented in other fields and being introduced here for consideration as a viable resource, possibly supplement, to traditional human factors/macroergonomic tools. Two models of this bionomic theory for human factors applications are presented for improving individual and organizational, physical, psychological, and social outcomes.
