Resumo
O texto aborda a evolução do conceito de ergonomia, desde sua definição inicial em 2000 pela International Ergonomics Association (IEA), até o desenvolvimento da macroergonomia. Inicialmente, a ergonomia era subdividida em três domínios: físico, cognitivo e organizacional. No entanto, em 2020, a IEA revisou essa abordagem, enfatizando que a ergonomia não possui domínios específicos, mas sim uma abordagem holística que considera diversos fatores, como físicos, cognitivos, organizacionais e sociotécnicos. A pesquisa realizada envolveu revisão bibliográfica, análise de artigos e classificação dos conceitos de macroergonomia em três constructos: abordagem, base ou consideração, e objetivos e resultados. Os resultados revelaram que a macroergonomia aborda o sistema sociotécnico como um todo, considerando aspectos organizacionais, sociais, culturais, entre outros. Seus objetivos incluem o projeto e otimização de organizações e sistemas de trabalho, visando à melhoria da performance organizacional e do bem-estar humano. Além disso, a pesquisa destaca autores e publicações importantes na área, evidenciando a evolução do conceito ao longo do tempo. Conclui-se que a macroergonomia é uma abordagem da ergonomia que busca otimizar a performance do sistema como um todo, integrando aspectos humanos e organizacionais. O texto também presta homenagem à contribuição de Lia B. de M. Guimarães para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa.

Abstract
The text addresses the evolution of the concept of ergonomics, from its initial definition in 2000 by the International Ergonomics Association (IEA), to the development of macroergonomics. Initially, ergonomics was subdivided into three domains: physical, cognitive and organizational. However, in 2020, the IEA revised this approach, emphasizing that ergonomics does not have specific domains, but rather a holistic approach that considers several factors, such as physical, cognitive, organizational and socio-technical. The research carried out involved bibliographic review, article analysis and classification of macroergonomics concepts into three constructs: approach, basis or consideration, and objectives and results. The results revealed that macroergonomics addresses the socio-technical system as a whole, considering organizational, social, cultural aspects, among others. Its objectives include the design and optimization of organizations and work systems, aiming to improve organizational performance and human well-being. Furthermore, the research highlights important authors and publications in the area, highlighting the evolution of the concept over time. It is concluded that macroergonomics is an approach to ergonomics that seeks to optimize the performance of the system as a whole, integrating human and organizational aspects. The text also pays tribute to the contribution of Lia B. de M. Guimarães to the development of the research.

Resumen
El texto aborda la evolución del concepto de ergonomía, desde su definición inicial en el año 2000 por la Asociación Internacional de Ergonomía (IEA), hasta el desarrollo de la macroergonomía. Inicialmente, la ergonomía se subdividía en tres dominios: físico, cognitivo y organizacional. Sin embargo, en 2020, la AIE revisó este enfoque, enfatizando que la ergonomía no tiene dominios específicos, sino un enfoque holístico que considera varios factores, como el físico, cognitivo, organizacional y sociotécnico. La investigación llevada a cabo implicó la revisión bibliográfica, el análisis de artículos y la clasificación de los conceptos de macroergonomía en tres constructos: enfoque, base o consideración, y objetivos y resultados. Los resultados revelaron que la macroergonomía aborda el sistema sociotécnico en su conjunto, considerando aspectos organizativos, sociales y culturales, entre otros. Entre sus objetivos se encuentra el diseño y optimización de organizaciones y sistemas de trabajo, con el objetivo de mejorar el rendimiento organizacional y el bienestar humano. Además, la investigación destaca importantes autores y publicaciones en el área, evidenciando la evolución del concepto a lo largo del tiempo. Se concluye que la macroergonomía es un enfoque de la ergonomía que busca optimizar el rendimiento del sistema en su conjunto, integrando aspectos humanos y organizacionales. El texto también rinde homenaje a la contribución de Lia B. de M. Guimarães para el desarrollo de la investigación.
