Ergonomics in Germany
View through CrossRef
In Germany there is a wide gap between the narrow, scientifically, technically and physiologically based definition of ergonomics and the much more comprehensive definition of “Arbeitswissenschaft” (work sciences) containing elements of industrial engineering, industrial sociology, personnel management and other application-related disciplines.
This paper reviews the trends in ergonomics research and teaching over the last 100 years and describes this bifurcated development. The Gesellschaft für Arbeitswissenschaft (GfA, German Ergonomics Society) supports the broad definition of ergonomics. The structure and size of the GfA is explained. Memoranda prepared by the GfA and the German Research Association on the current situation in ergonomics are discussed. The incorporation of ergonomics in various branches of study is discussed and opinions are expressed on study qualifications containing elements of ergonomics and their opportunities on the labor market.
