本文的目的是提出一种可用于在组织中实施人机工程学改进的方法。该方法是对健康教育方法中使用的现有模型的应用，该模型描述了通过信息改变行为的过程。这一变化过程包括六个连续的阶段，人们在接受信息时会经历这些阶段。该方法可用于对员工和经理的态度和行为进行系统分析，以便发现该行为背后的因素(例如，不购买或不使用符合人体工程学的改进的原因)。根据这些分析，可以选择可能改变他们态度或行为的具体信息。通过实例说明了该方法的应用。在这项研究中，目的是鼓励经理们在荷兰家具业的室内装饰工作场所使用站立辅助设备。
The aim of this paper is to present a method that could be used for implementing ergonomic improvements in organizations. The method is an application of an existing model used in health-education approaches, which describes the process of changing behaviour through information. This changing process consists of six successive stages that people pass through when they receive information. The method can be used to make systematic analyses of the attitudes and behaviour of employees and managers, in order to detect factors underlying that behaviour (e.g. reasons of not buying or not using ergonomic improvements). Based on these analyses, specific information can be selected which may change their attitudes or behaviour. The use of this method is demonstrated by a case study. In this study the aim was to stimulate managers to implement standing aids at upholstering workplaces in the Dutch furniture industry.
