“…Moreover, participatory ergonomics requires more attention to be payed to organizational psychology and sociology in human behavior characterization. This approach is always supported effective improvement measures development and implementation by human resources specialists in industrial companies [7,8,9,10]. Furthermore, the transformation of ergonomics way of action (extension of its interdisciplinarity and integrating it in organizational psychology and sociology approaches) has supported the continuous improvement processes in lean manufacturing systems.…”

The paper describes a propose interdisciplinary approach for improving working conditions in production systems. The proposed approach has been customized and apply in the case of a lean production system in order to demonstrate its efficiency and effectiveness. The research approach and its associated methodology consists of three stages: (1) a qualitative research using the Grounded Theory, which provide a theoretical model on the the employees behavior within the analyzed lean production system; (2) a quantitative research, survey based on a designed questionnaire, for the investigation of the motivation – satisfaction relation; (3) a quantitative research for the ergonomic risk assessment associated with repetitive upper limb movements (that are dominant in the case of the assembly line that has been studied) using the OCRA method for the improvement of the workers stress. The research results contribute to the knowledge development and to the the diminishing of the occupational hazards and generating workplace wellbeing.

“…Importantly, if these programmes are carried out within a specified organizational structure, it may be termed as a 'management system'. Cuny-Guerrier et al (2019) stated that pragmatic and proactive strategies are needed in participatory ergonomics for involving senior managers and also analyse the strategy that is directed to senior managers' commitment. The increased globalization and growing world population also have an enormous effect on manufacturing industries, especially in the glass artware industry.…”

The implementation of ergonomics intervention practices is the need of time in a highly global competitive working environment for cutting down musculoskeletal health issues and improving the productivity of workers. Thus far, no research has developed practical methodological approaches and techniques to look into the dynamic nature of ergonomics intervention practices, specifically in the glass artware industry. Therefore, the objective of this article is to identify and prioritize the enablers to implement ergonomics intervention practices in Indian glass artware industries. Nineteen ergonomics intervention (EI) practices enablers were identified from the literature review and 16 were screened from identified enablers with the help of fuzzy Delphi method (FDM). The screened important enablers were then examined using a hybrid Interpretive Structural Modeling- Matrix Cross-Reference Multiplication Applied to a Classification-based framework. The interpretive structural modelling (ISM) methodology helps in evaluating contextual interactions among the enablers while classifying them based on their driving and dependence power. The results revealed that stringent legal requirements from the government, along with management support and commitment, are the main drivers and play a significant role over other enablers. Further, this study attempts to explore the critical enablers that are most prevalent for implementing EI practices. The results would be helpful for industries in implementing EI practices within their production systems by introducing and boosting the dominant enabler. This research offers key insight for practitioners, researchers and policy-makers by identifying interrelationships among the enablers.

“…Therefore, considering the importance of the role of competencies of project managers, this study discusses the effects of the project managers' CSE on competencies. Also, project managers usually deal with a variety of people (Silvius and Schipper, 2020;Jimenez et al, 2019), each of whom could either be members of the project team or be outside the project team, but still influence the performance of the projects in different ways (Cuny-Guerrier et al, 2019). These people have different and diverse cultural backgrounds, attitudes and tastes (Taras et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe study investigates the effects of core self-evaluations on project managers' competencies. The study further examines the moderating effect of cultural intelligence between core self-evaluations and competencies.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, with a descriptive-survey approach, necessary data were collected from a sample of project managers of Iran's Ministry of Communication and Information Technology through questionnaires. The conceptual framework of the study was tested according to structural equation modeling by PLS software.FindingsFindings show that core self-evaluations have positive and significant effects on project managers' competencies among which psychological stability has the greatest effect. Furthermore, the moderating role of cultural intelligence in the relationship between core self-evaluations and project managers' competencies was confirmed. According to the calculated coefficient, motivational cultural intelligence had the greatest role.Research limitations/implicationsThe data were collected using a questionnaire at a single point in time, and thus, not allowing cause–effect inferences. Also, the demographic variables were not controlled.Practical implicationsThe results of this study provide some implications for HRM professionals and project managers interested in promoting a system of HR practices that contributes to enhancing project managers' competencies and effectiveness.Originality/valueThis study advances our understanding of the factors that have an effect on project managers' competencies, specifically on a list of main competencies necessary for project managers' performance. Moreover, it suggests that project managers' competencies will benefit from cultural intelligence, which will display a greater effect when embedded in highly diverse cultural contexts.
