ABSTRACT

Ergonomics literature provides ample evident of many successful micro and macro ergonomics interventions and their positive impacts for both employees and employers of all sectors of the society. It is commonly accepted that the application of micro-and macro ergonomics is essential for improving working conditions, system efficiency and promotion or the working-life quality. While ergonomics has shown good potential for ensuring optimum technology utilization and proper technological development in the 'industrialized world', interest and attention paid to the subject is very low among organizations and industrial managers in the Industrially Developing Countries (IDC). Almost, two-thirds of the world's population in IDCs has little or no access to the vast knowledge base that makes ergonomics such an important tool for improving work environment and increase productivity.
