The goal of the biological (ergonomic) approach to job design is: a. to make the work simple so that anyone can be trained quickly and easily to perform it. b. to minimize physical strain on the worker by structuring the physical work environment around the way the human body works. c. to focus on increasing the meaningfulness of jobs. d. to design jobs in a way that ensures they do not exceed people's mental capabilities and limitations.

Answer 1

To minimise physical strain on the worker by structuring the physical work environment around the way the human body works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ergonomics is very essential because when carrying out a job and your body is made uncomfortable by an bad posture, extreme temperature, or repeated movement your musculoskeletal system tends to be affected.

Ergonomics improves productivity in a workplace. Designing a workspace that promotes good posture, less repetitive motions, easier heights and reaches is very necessary. More efficiency means more productivity which is important for the growth of the company.
