Abstract
Socio-technical systems are increasingly required to function in complex and unpredictable environments. These conditions necessitate continuous, dynamic adjustments in team coordination to meet rapidly evolving task demands. However, moment-by-moment changes in team and multi-team system coordination remain understudied within the Human Factors and Ergonomics field. This thesis aims to bridge this gap by investigating coordination from a temporal perspective, focusing on the dynamic nature of coordination restructuring and its importance as a mechanism for team resilience.
Thesis structure:
Chapter 2: Temporal interaction analysis techniques: Literature review exploring the value of integrating temporal interaction analysis techniques in sociotechnical systems research, emphasising their potential in capturing dynamic, moment-by-moment interactions that contribute to system resilience and adaptability
Chapter 3: Interaction Dynamics: Literature review focusing on human-human teaming, examining the role of interaction dynamics in shaping dynamic temporal processes, demonstrating how evolving micro-behaviours and interaction patterns underline temporal phenomena, such as resilience and team learning.
Chapter 4: Capturing dynamic change in coordination patterns, The case of Apollo 13: Empirical study exploring how digital analytic tools, such as THEME, can enhance research on team coordination by providing a temporal lens for examining complex, multi-layered interactions. The analysis provides insight into the composition (what) and timing (when) of coordination restructuring.
Chapter 5: Navigating order and disorder: Empirical study examining emergency response teams as they train to perform resuscitation in high-risk, environments. Additionally to the composition and timing of coordination restructuring, this study models the rhythm (how often) of coordination restructuring before and after training using an entropy analysis.
