The scientific study of work, human effort, and labor in physical and social contexts.
From 'ergon' (work) and '-logy' (study of), this modern academic discipline combines physiology, sociology, and engineering.
Ergology is where ergonomic office chairs come from—scientists studying how humans work discovered that even small design changes can prevent injury and boost productivity, turning workplace design into genuine science.
