ABSTRACT:
Researchers in human factors and ergonomics (HF/E) are encouraged to consider two classes of predictor variables that typically are not included in traditional performance research: worldview and acculturation. Worldviews are sets of assumptions about life and the physical and social worlds. Acculturation involves the degree of commitment made to a culture’s set of values and practices. Worldview and acculturation are highly relevant to performance. Two worldview variables, Individualism—Collectivism and Locus of Control, have attracted research interest. At least four other dimensions within Koltko-Rivera’s (2004) collated model of worldview are likely to be relevant to performance: mutability, time orientation, relation to authority, and interaction. As industrialized societies become more diverse, acculturation becomes more relevant to performance. Several areas are identified for future research, such as worldview/acculturation—task interactions, and team cognition. Assessment instrumentation is briefly described.
