Abstract: Although ergonomics has proven essential to increasing the productivity in every industry, worldwide, in contemporary organizations where managers do not perceive the ergonomic aspects or organizational design as some of their duties, there can still be effects of not paying it the right respect. Acknowledging the importance of the relationship between ergonomics and human resource management in organizational behavior, this paper aims to briefly analyze the determinants of activity, so that interested parties have a clear view of their importance, to identify elements of the labor process that work well, so that they can be maintained in the future, and those elements which do not function well and which can be improved to the purpose of an improved labour process.
