In industrially developing countries, a few ergonomists have directed great efforts towards developing ergonomics awareness among managers and workers in organizations. There is little research on the degree of their success, though. Furthermore, access of organizations to ergonomics knowledge is usually very difficult, especially in industrially developing countries. Thus, building ergonomics awareness is certainly the first phase of the process. Three companies from one industry (44 people: 14 females and 30 males) participated in a project aimed at improving their work system. At the beginning, we needed to create a common goal and ensure participation with appropriate ergonomics tools. The findings of this study were the key issue for the ergonomics intervention (i.e., a shared vision, awakened need of change and learning). Further, to build ergonomics awareness and develop a continuous learning process in the company, it was necessary to use more ergonomics tools through workers' participation in different workplaces.
在工业发展中国家，一些人体工程学专家致力于在组织中的管理人员和工人中提高对人体工程学的认识。然而，关于他们成功程度的研究却很少。此外，组织获取人体工程学知识通常非常困难，尤其是在工业发展中国家。因此，培养人体工程学意识无疑是这个过程的第一阶段。来自一个行业的三家公司（44人：14名女性和30名男性）参与了一个旨在改善其工作系统的项目。一开始，我们需要确立一个共同目标，并通过适当的人体工程学工具确保员工参与。这项研究的结果是人体工程学干预的关键问题（即共同愿景、觉醒的变革需求和学习）。此外，为了在公司中培养人体工程学意识并建立持续学习的过程，有必要通过员工参与不同工作场所来使用更多人体工程学工具。
