Rationalizing the Relationship between Ergonomics and Human Resource Management

Abstract

The paper contains the attributes of contemporary ways to deal with the recognizable proof of the relationship between ergonomics and human resource management. Considering the fragmentary nature of studies performed in the field, based on the results of literature analysis, a conceptual model of relations between ergonomics and human resource management is constructed. The application of ergonomics in human resource management can support improvement in both employee well-being, reduces error, increases productivity, enhances safety and enhances comforts. This paper outlines and documents a research and practice gap between the fields of ergonomics and HRM research that has not been previously discussed in the management literature.
