Macroergonomics aims to create entirely “harmonious” work systems that increase many areas of organisational efficiency and effectiveness. In macroergonomics, all work system components must collaborate to ensure safety. As a result, while the previous SLR only examined validity and reliability, a study of measurement variables is required to create an SCMM measuring instrument utilising a macroergonomic method. This project will conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of SCMM publishing papers during the last 22 years (2001–2023). This SLR tries to classify the variables used in SCMM measurement into sociotechnical (macroergonomic) work subsystems, study fields, models, and measurement methods. This paper applied the SLR methodology to 53 SCMM articles in the last two decades, from 2001 to 2023. Data was collected by searching for published articles in Scopus, Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar, UK. Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ProQuest and Occupational Safety and Health Resource based on article title, abstract and keywords. Filtering was done by using keywords and evaluating the content's suitability by examining the article’s abstract and overall content (Output 53 articles). The results found valuable gaps in the use of the five sociotechnical work subsystems in measuring performance. The SLR found 18 organisation variables, 3 job and task variables, 7 human variables, 5 environmental variables and 7 tools and technological variables. The results indicate that the primary research areas in SCMM are health care and oil and gas, with ten publications. Besides, the SLR results indicated that the Hudson Model was the most utilised method, and the most used method was a questionnaire.
