    Mente extendida y trabajo : interacciones entre mente extendida y desempeño laboral en desarrolladores de software en Colombia
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Pinto Matiz, Raul Camilo; Echeverri Álvarez, Jonathan
    Objective. Explore the interactions between extended mind and job performance in a group of software developers in Colombia. Conceptual framework. Job performance is approached as all expected behavior for the improvement of organizational processes, its relation to the theory of extended mind as the involvement of external technological elements with the cognition of software developers, and its applicability for the enhancement of job performance. Method. A descriptive qualitative cross-sectional study is conducted, using a case study design based on structured interviews with technology professionals currently working in organizations as software developers. Results. It was found that, based on the collected information so far, it is possible to affirm that, as mentioned by the authors Clark & Chalmers (1998), in areas related to software development, there are expressions of the concept of extended mind, where the boundaries of the mind (understood as the entity responsible for higher cognitive processes) do not stop at the walls of the skull or the skin, but rather there are a series of vehicles in the environment responsible for behavior generation. These vehicles are understood as physical objects that can be directly manipulated by the individual (phone, computer, smartwatch). Additionally, a relationship between extended mind and job performance is evidenced, showing that the tools constituted as work implements have a direct or indirect influence on job performance, but only in the utilization or non-utilization of the work elements for the optimal development of their job functions.
