| description | This review article attempts to explore the economic effectiveness
of ergonomics. In this review, PubMed, EBSCO, and Web of
Science were selected to find the related articles based on two
keywords of ‘ergonomics’ and ‘economics’. Eleven full-text
articles (1 in PubMed, 8 in EBSCO, and 2 in Web.Sci.) were
included in the study. Articles show that ergonomics interventions
have an association with economy and productivity; however, 3
out of 11 articles did not show a clear interconnection between
ergonomics and economic benefits. All of the reviewed articles
were conducted at workplaces and, also, were related to
occupational ergonomics; however, in a single case, the
ergonomics product design was reflected as a cost-benefit
approach. The role of a healthy workforce and ergonomics design
with regard to both employees’ efficiency and business growth is
often neglected. According to reviewed papers, the role of
ergonomics in green economics toward sustainability is inevitable.
However, there are some challenges to persuade the industrial
sectors’ managers about the economics side of ergonomics in
which limited documents and the lack of ergonomics-economics
models and procedures are critical. This review emphasized at
least two approaches: (1) the necessity of publishing papers,
including valid economics model about industrial ergonomics; (2)
developing some economic tools to confirm the benefits of
ergonomic product design. If some appropriate economic models
or techniques merge into ergonomics intervention projects,
whether industrial ergonomics or product design, more feasible
and better outcomes will be obtained in which both employees and
customers are satisfied. |
