Ren, X (2024) Human and organizational factors influencing structural safety: Analysing critical hofs behind human errors in structural design and construction. PhD thesis, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands.
Abstract
This dissertation focuses on studying the impact of Human and Organizational Factors (HOFs) on structural safety within the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. It is widely acknowledged that human errors are the primary cause of the majority of structural failures. In addition, HOFs are pivotal task contexts that shape human performance at work and contribute to the occurrence of human errors. Therefore, this research aims to study the critical HOFs in the structural design and construction process and analyze their influence on structural safety from a sociotechnical systems perspective.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
