本論文は、エネルギー集約型産業（金属セクター）における水素統合の初期段階で、状況認識（SA）メカニズムがイノベーション準備態勢と組織適応性に与える影響を調査する。EUプロジェクトH2GLASS内の質的ケーススタディに基づき、オペレーターやマネージャーへのインタビューを通じて、未知のリスクの解釈、信頼構築、不確実性下での制御と柔軟性のバランスを分析。結論として、準備態勢は技術的能力だけでなく、適応的問題解決、機会認識、曖昧さへの耐性からも生まれることを示す。
English
This paper investigates how Situational Awareness (SA) mechanisms influence innovation readiness and organizational adaptability during early-stage hydrogen integration in energy-intensive industries (metal sector). Through a qualitative case study within the EU H2GLASS project, interviews with operators and managers reveal how employees interpret unfamiliar risks, build trust, and balance control and flexibility under uncertainty. Findings show that readiness emerges from adaptive problem-solving, opportunity recognition, and tolerance for ambiguity, not just technical competence.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のエネルギー集約型産業（鉄鋼・素材産業）における水素移行は政策目標（水素基本戦略）とも連動するが、本論文は技術導入前の組織的・人的準備態勢に焦点を当てており、SSBJや開示フレームワークとは直接関係しない。ただし、日本企業が水素利用を進める際の従業員の心理的安全性や学習プロセスの理解に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, hydrogen integration in heavy industry is a critical decarbonization pathway. This paper extends situational awareness theory to industrial sustainability transitions, highlighting social dimensions often overlooked in technical feasibility studies. It offers insights for workforce training and organizational change management in sectors like steel, chemicals, and cement.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract This paper examines how Situational Awareness (SA) mechanisms influence innovation readiness and organizational adaptability during the early, pre-implementation stages of hydrogen (H $$_2$$ ) integration in energy-intensive industries. Drawing on a qualitative case study within the EU project H2GLASS, and focusing on the metal sector, the H $$_2$$ shift is conceptualized as a systemic innovation requiring new competencies, safety routines, and organizational responses. In-depth interviews with operators and managers across three companies reveal how employees perceive and interpret unfamiliar risks, build trust, and balance control and flexibility under uncertainty. The findings show that innovation readiness is enabled or constrained in different ways across the cases, depending on how employees interpret unfamiliar technologies, re-frame established routines, and coordinate responses across organizational boundaries. Readiness emerges not only from technical competence but also from adaptive problem-solving, opportunity recognition, and tolerance for ambiguity. These human and organizational dynamics are central to innovation in socio-technical transitions. The study contributes by extending the application of SA into industrial sustainability transitions and showing its relevance across the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of transition. Most clearly, however, the findings speak to the social dimension, demonstrating how SA supports workforce readiness, collaborative learning, trust, and coordinated action during disruptive change. Insights have transdisciplinary relevance for workforce learning, leadership, and policy, and position SA as both a cognitive and organizational capability for supporting strategic agility and the adoption of sustainable technologies in established industries.
