Reframing Success in Embodied Work: Competing Perspectives on Occupational Exoskeleton Adoption

This record contains the scientific publication “Reframing Success in Embodied Work: Competing Perspectives on Occupational Exoskeleton Adoption”, published in the European Journal of Workplace Innovation.

The study explores how frontline employees, managers, technical and academic experts negotiate the adoption of occupational exoskeletons in warehouse settings. The article introduces the Normalisation-Situated Practice Matrix to examine how formal organisational embedding and experiential user engagement align or diverge, challenging approaches that prioritise formal processes and binary adoption metrics over emergent, embodied practice.
