The pursued approach of the Action-Regulation-Theory is the integration of cognitive, behaviourism and social science orientated conceptions.Wiendieck, G. (1994). Pesonalauswahl und -entwicklung (Kurseinheit 3-4). (Fernstudienkurs 04755). Hagen: FernUniversität. This integration then is used to make explanatory and modelling statements about work conditions. Hacker talks in this context about the holistic work activity, which is an essential criteria for personality development.Hacker, W. (1993). Psychologische Arbeitsanalyse und -bewertung. (Fernstudienkurs 04766). Hagen: FernUniversität. Through the above described should the partialization of work activity and the Taylorism be overcome. As a cybernetic approach the ground idea of an action/ activity is the regulation.Schelten, A. (2002). Über den Nutzen der Handlungsregulationstheorie für Berufs- und Arbeitspädagogik. In:Pädagogische Rundschau, 56, 621-630.
