Abstract
Este artículo presenta el desarrollo del Cuestionario de Compatibilidad Macroergonómica (CCM), el cual se enfoca en colectar datos sobre la aplicación de prácticas macroergonómicas respecto a los factores capital humano, organización, tareas, herramientas y tecnología, y condiciones ambientales en los sistemas de manufactura. El CCM comprende 3 secciones: datos demográficos, aplicación de prácticas macroergonómicas e importancia de estas. Las preguntas están formuladas con base en la revisión de literatura, y respondidas en escalas ordinales. La validación del CCM se realiza a través de un análisis factorial, y la opinión de los expertos. El CCM se aplicó a 188 empleados de sistemas de manufactura y 6 expertos en Ergonomía. De los empleados se obtuvo que solo 8 de las 23 variables analizadas tuvieron un valor de alfa de Cronbach < 0.7, sin embargo, de los expertos se obtuvo que 5 de estas 8 variables fueron las más importantes dentro de su grupo, por lo cual se conservaron dentro del cuestionario.
Developing and validating a macro-ergonomic compatibility questionnaire
Abstract
This paper presents the development of a Macro-ergonomic Compatibility Questionnaire (MCQ), which focuses on collecting data about the implementation of macro-ergonomic principles which are related to human capital factors, organization, tasks, tools, technology as well as environmental conditions in manufacturing systems. The MCQ includes 3 sections: demographic data, application of macro-ergonomic principles and their importance. The questions are created according to the literature review, which are designed to be answered in ordinal scale. The MCQ validation is performed by a factorial analysis and experts’ opinion.This instrument was administered to 188 manufacturing systems’ employees and 6 ergonomics experts.The employees’ results showed that only 8 of the 23 variables analyzed presented a value of Cronbach’s alpha < 0.7, however, experts’ results presented that 5 of 8 variables were the most important in their group, therefore they were maintained in the questionnaire.
