Abstract
Some features of the current trends of ergonomic research in Europe are described. Ergonomics in Europe is concerned more with welfare of individual workers than with the integration of man into large systems, which is relevant to the fact that physiological criteria receive much consideration. Several topics suggesting the further development of the specific ergonomic approaches are discussed: (1) application of psychophysiological criteria is systematially investigated, (2) case-diagnostic approach as seen in comprehensive checklists is being made feasible, (3) forming of ergonomic research centres with work physiology emphasis is socially acknowledged, (4) ergonomists try to play a teamwork role in work design from their own independent standpoints.
