This book presents new recently obtained data in the field of Systemic-Structural Activity Theory (SSAT) that can be used in the study of human performance. New principles and revised methods for the study of human work are supplemented by practical examples in manufacturing, building construction industry, aviation, and human-computer interaction systems. This book will present a comprehensive unified psychological theory that can be utilized as a general approach to the study of human work not only for ergonomists, psychologists, but also for economists that study the efficiency of human performance.
