Ergonomics interventions have the potential to improve operational performance and employee well-being. We introduce a framework for ergonomics climate, the extent to which an organization emphasizes and supports the design and modification of work to maximize both performance and well-being outcomes. We assessed ergonomics climate at a large manufacturing facility twice during a two-year period. When the organization used ergonomics to promote performance and well-being equally, and at a high level, employees reported less work-related pain. A larger discrepancy between measures of operational performance and employee well-being was associated with increased reports of work-related pain. The direction of this discrepancy was not significantly related to work-related pain, such that it didn't matter which facet was valued more. The Ergonomics Climate Assessment can provide companies with a baseline assessment of the overall value placed on ergonomics and help prioritize areas for improving operational performance and employee well-being.
人机工程学干预措施有潜力提高运营绩效和员工福祉。我们引入了一个人机工程学氛围的框架，即组织强调并支持对工作进行设计和改进以最大化绩效和福祉成果的程度。我们在两年时间里对一家大型制造工厂的人机工程学氛围进行了两次评估。当组织以高水平同等地利用人机工程学来促进绩效和福祉时，员工报告的与工作相关的疼痛较少。运营绩效衡量指标与员工福祉之间的较大差异与更多与工作相关的疼痛报告相关。这种差异的方向与与工作相关的疼痛没有显著关联，也就是说哪个方面更受重视并不重要。人机工程学氛围评估可以为公司提供对人机工程学整体价值的基线评估，并有助于确定提高运营绩效和员工福祉的优先领域。
