Issued without a dust jacket. -- Constructive Ergonomics presents a comprehensive theoretical and practical reformulation of ergonomics by emphasizing development as both a goal and a methodological foundation. Rather than confining ergonomics to reactive or preventive functions - such as minimizing strain, risk, or error - the book advocates for a proactive, enabling perspective that seeks to create environments where individuals and organizations can grow, learn, and improve together. It departs from traditional approaches focused on short-term task optimization and introduces a framework that centers on the dynamic relationship between activity, learning, organizational transformation, and long-term well-being. The volume is structured in two parts. The first addresses the resources and structural conditions that support development, while the second examines the dynamic processes and methodological tools that promote it. The chapters in the first part deal with how professional activity is not merely shaped by the organization but is itself an agent of organizational transformation. This includes the development of skills at individual and collective levels, the psychosocial dimensions of work, the transformation of working time structures, and the cultivation of activity as a performance and health resource. Several chapters trace how reflective practice and experiential knowledge - acquired through confrontation with real work situations - lead to expanded operational leeway, professional identity consolidation, and preservation of health. The notion of enabling environments, derived partly from Amartya Sen's capabilities theory, is discussed not only as a preventive measure but also as a platform for constructing autonomy and efficacy in the workplace. The second section explores how ergonomics interventions can themselves serve as drivers of development. Chapters address participatory design, co-construction of work practices, and the use of artifacts and simulations as tools for mutual learning between designers and users. The design of instruments is analyzed as a dialogic process, where objects are not merely shaped for users but through their use are transformed into tools that reflect and reinforce situated know-how. Topics include ergonomics in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, transversal collaboration across professional groups, the role of career-long experiential trajectories, and the development of skills through reflective self-analysis and peer exchange. The book proposes methodologies - such as auto-analysis of work, reflective tools for teams, and training grounded in real activity - that are aimed at fostering both performance and durable health outcomes. The approach is rooted in French-speaking activity-centered ergonomics, yet the themes addressed - organizational adaptability, worker autonomy, knowledge construction, and developmental potential - have broader relevance for readers engaged in participatory design, occupational health, and systems engineering. Methodologically, the book encourages ergonomists to move beyond expert-driven models and to adopt roles as facilitators of dialogue and collective learning, without relinquishing their analytical expertise. Practitioners, researchers, and advanced students in ergonomics, human factors, occupational psychology, and industrial design will find in this volume a set of conceptual and methodological tools for integrating development and performance across individual, collective, and organizational domains.…
