Literature review (1,500-word report) course work 1

Undertake a review of literature relevant to design and organisation of a workplace with which you are familiar,

The first section should present a systems perspective of the topic. After which you can focus on one or two factors/ interactions within the wider context. The literature review should demonstrate understanding of micro and macro systems.

You are expected to read as widely as you can on the topic and cite evidence from relevant human factors literature in scientific journals (for example from Ergonomics and Applied Ergonomics).

You should attempt to find literature which considers the physical, organisational and psychosocial elements of the workplace.

Your review should show evidence of critical analysis of the literature.

You should use the units of the module as your primary information source when completing this coursework, but you should also read around the topic in the published literature (for example in the journals Ergonomics and Applied Ergonomics, Journal of Medical Informatics (JMIR), BMJ Quality and Safety etc) or other resources you may have access to.

All published sources, which you use, should be cited in the report, with full references given in a list at the end of the report.
