Abstract
there is a lack of a clear and consistent definition of human-centricity in industry 5.0.this study identified the definition of human-centricity in industry 5.0 through a systematic literature review and used it to assess the readiness of ergonomics/human Factors communities in the UK. the assessment of the communities readiness was conducted by reviewing UK accredited courses and events of three professional bodies; and interviewing practitioners (n = 8).eleven themes were identified as elements of human-centricity from the thematic analysis of 30 publications.Gaps that had to be addressed to better equip UK practitioners to support the realisation of human-centricity in industry 5.0 were also identified. PRACTITIONER SUMMARYthe meaning of human-centricity in industry 5.0 and its bearing on ergonomics/human Factors communities are not fully understood.eleven themes that define human-centricity in industry 5.0 are extracted.Gaps that have to be addressed by ergonomics/human Factors communities in UK are also identified.
