Abstract
Startups are scalable, repeatable and innovative companies operating in an uncertain and temporary environment, that need to accomplish maximum efficiency. Under this context, the organizational analysis through macroergonomics is interesting because this approach refers to restructuring of the organization, so that increased safety, comfort, system efficiency and quality of life are achieved. The purpose of this article is to provide for an analysis of Macroergonomic Methods in order to determine whether it is possible to apply them to the organizational analysis of startups. This study was performed based on pertinent theoretical concepts. Then, the methods were presented, but only those specifically developed for macroergonomics were analyzed, which refers to eight methods. As a result, only the methods called HITOP Analysis and Macroergonomic Analysis of Structure were deemed applicable to startups, and we found that methods called Macroergonomic Analysis and Macroergonomic Design and Analysis may be applicable, provided that duly adjusted.
