Human Work Interaction Design for Socio-Technical Theory and Action

  • First Online:
Human Work Interaction Design

Abstract

This chapter introduces and compares systematically HWID to current research knowledge about socio-technical HCI. It introduces to the existing body of HWID research, and to traditional and more recent approaches to work analysis and interaction design. Then it compares systematically HWID and Experience Design (Hassenzahl et al in Synth Lect Human-Cent Inform 3(1):1–95, 2010), HWID and Practice-Based Design (Volker Wulf et al in Socio-informatics—a practice-based perspective on the design and use of IT artifacts. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2018), and HWID and ‘Design Tensions’ for group work (Gross in Comput Supp Cooperat Work (CSCW) 22(4):425–474, 2013). This is followed up with a summary overview and outline of what is unique and what HWID as a platform for socio-technical HCI theorizing shares with other socio-technical HCI design approaches. The chapter ends with an introduction to four types of HWID relation artefacts.

  4. 4.

    Attachment theory is today used in HCI to explain people’s attachment to their mobile phones.

  5. 5.

    Miller wrote the famous paper about 7+-2 items in short term memory that has been used so much in HCI for menu design.

  6. 6.

    HCI today is often criticized for being too much focused on the technical parts and missing the greater picture of for example sustainable design (Abdelnour-Nocera, Clemmensen, Hertzum, Singh, & Singh, 2019; Eriksson et al., 2016).
