I think that real-life studies on human work must be done, if possible, not objectively, but subjectively from an ergological viewpoint. Essentially, I consider ergology as the biology of human living and work, along German biologist Haeckel's idea. He considered ergology a field of anthropology. The instinctive (genetic) element and the learned (environmental) element constitute human behavior. It is conceivable that the adaptation by human learnability has today brought about high-tech society, and genetic human attributes (human nature) have been adapted to the living environment of hunters and gatherers, which has been long-lasting in human history. Hunters-gatherers form a band consisting of about 50 (30-100) persons and move in a more or less vaguely defined territory (1,000-3,000 km2). The unsuitableness of human nature for modern scientific civilization has caused various problems. Always keeping human nature in mind when considering human living and work is the philosophical background of human ergology. Two real-life working conditions in agriculture, the packing of leeks and promoting a system for securing employees in strawberry production, are presented.
我认为，如果可能的话，关于人类工作的现实生活研究必须从工效学的角度主观地进行，而不是客观地进行。本质上，我按照德国生物学家海克尔的观点，将工效学视为人类生活与工作的生物学。他认为工效学是人类学的一个领域。本能（遗传）因素和习得（环境）因素构成了人类行为。可以想象，人类通过学习能力的适应造就了当今的高科技社会，而人类的遗传属性（人性）已适应了狩猎采集者的生活环境，这种环境在人类历史上一直存在。狩猎采集者组成一个约50人（30至100人）的群体，在一个或多或少界定模糊的区域（1000至3000平方公里）内迁徙。人性与现代科学文明的不匹配引发了各种问题。在考虑人类生活和工作时始终牢记人性，这是人类工效学的哲学背景。本文介绍了农业中的两种现实工作条件，即韭菜包装和推广草莓生产中的员工保障制度。
