Evolução paradigmática dos fatores humanos na aviação

This study analyzed the paradigmatic evolution of human factors in aviation and operational safety, aiming to understand conceptual transformations related to human performance in complex sociotechnical systems. This is a qualitative, historical-epistemological, and analytical-reflective integrative review grounded in Whittemore and Knafl, Torraco, Braun and Clarke, and Levac, Colquhoun and O’Brien. Searches were conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, and SciELO, as well as institutional aviation safety documents. The final corpus comprised 81 studies. Findings revealed a progressive shift from models centered on individual human error toward cognitive, organizational, systemic, and adaptive approaches. Nevertheless, limitations remain regarding fragmentation between cognition, physiology, emotion, and human-automation interaction. It is concluded that contemporary human factors require integrative models capable of understanding human performance as a dynamic and multimodal phenomenon in complex operational environments.
