Abstract
Relevance. Currently, there are no universal laboratory hardware methods for assessing the effectiveness of ergatic systems, which allow setting loads of varying complexity and performing automated and visual (graphical) analysis of the results of collectively performed work. Purpose. To develop and test experimentally the possibility of using a new technology to assess the performance of ergatic systems. Methodology. Ergographic modeling of ergatic systems via complex group activities with undefined contribution from each participant of the experiment. Results and their analysis. The methodology determines functions and roles of members of a small group, identifies leadership qualities, assesses preparedness of small groups to complex coordinated activities. Conclusion. The technology can be recommended for enrolling members of small groups and assessing their performance during activities requiring complex visual-motor coordination (military teams, rescuers, athletes), as well as for consolidation of team members.
