Świadomość ergonomiczna pracowników i pracodawców odgrywa ogromną rolę na każdym stanowisku i w każdym zakładzie pracy. Praca biurowa wiąże się z występowaniem wielu zagrożeń dla zdrowia pracowników, do których powstania przyczynia się między innymi brak przestrzegania zasad ergonomii już podczas projektowania i organizacji tych stanowisk. Celem badań była analiza świadomości ergonomicznej pracowników biurowych oraz zatrudniających ich pracodawców. Podjętą problematykę opracowano na podstawie badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych w grupie 40 osób aktywnych zawodowo, w firmach na terenie województwa lubelskiego. Do badań wykorzystano dwa kwestionariusze ankietowe, których pytania zwracają uwagę na kilka istotnych kwestii dotyczących poziomu świadomości pracowników i pracodawców w zakresie ergonomii. Badania wykazały, że pracownicy zatrudnieni na stanowiskach biurowych mają wiedzę na temat ergonomii dotyczącą przygotowania stanowiska do bezpiecznej pracy, ale wiedza ta jest przez nich rzadko wykorzystywana w praktyce. Pracodawcy twierdzą, że posiadają dużą wiedzę w tej dziedzinie, czego jednak nie potwierdzają opinie pracowników na temat prowadzonych szkoleń, organizacji stanowisk oraz procesu pracy.

Ergonomic awareness among employees and employers is important in every institution and every workplace. Office work is associated with the occurrence of hazards for workers, which are caused by failure to obey the principles of ergonomics during designing and organisation of these workplaces. The objective of the conducted study is the analysis of ergonomic awareness among employees and employers. The scope of the problems undertaken was elaborated based on a survey conducted in a group of 40 persons working in companies from Lublin Region. The study was conducted by using two questionnaires. The questions pay particular attention to a few important issues concerning the level of ergonomic awareness. The results of the study showed that the office workers have the knowledge of ergonomics, concerning the arrangement of safety workstations, but the knowledge is seldom used in practice. The employers say that have the great knowledge of ergonomics, but it is not confirmed in the opinions of employees concerning ergonomic training, the organisation of workstations and work process.

ObjectivesThe work system reform and the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan have prompted efforts toward telecommuting in Japan. However, only a few studies have investigated the stress and health effects of telecommuting. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the relationship between telecommuting and job stress among Japanese workers.Material and MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study. In December 2020, during the “third wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic, an Internet-based nationwide health survey of 33 087 Japanese workers (The Collaborative Online Research on Novel-coronavirus and Work, CORoNaWork study) was conducted. Data of 27 036 individuals were included after excluding 6051 invalid responses. The authors analyzed a sample of 13 468 office workers from this database. The participants were classified into 4 groups according to their telecommuting frequency, while comparing scores on the subscale of the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) and subjective job stress between the high-frequency, medium-frequency, low-frequency, and non-telecommuters groups. A linear mixed model and an ordinal logistic regression analysis were used.ResultsA significant difference in the job control scores of the JCQ among the 4 groups was found, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. The high-frequency telecommuters group had the highest job control score. Further, after adjusting for multiple confounding factors, the subjective job stress scores of the high- and medium-frequency telecommuters groups were significantly lower than those of the non-telecommuters group.ConclusionsThis study revealed that high-frequency telecommuting was associated with high job control and low subjective job stress. The widespread adoption of telecommuting as a countermeasure to the public health challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may also have a positive impact on job stress.

Objectives: This research was conducted as a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed at determining the existence of pain in the musculoskeletal system among office workers and the reasons for it. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 528 office workers. Collection of data was achieved using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers in line with information from the literature. Results: The male and female office workers most frequently complained of pain in the lower back (55.1%), neck (52.5%) and back (53%). It was seen that out of the variables relating to the work environment, those which had the most significant effect on muscular-skeletal system pain were sitting at the desk for a long time without a break, working sitting on a chair that supported only the lumbar area and the arms, having the computer mouse at a distance from the keyboard, having the head inclined at 45° when working, working holding both forearms above the level of the desk, not taking exercise in daily life, and having a moderate or extremely stressful workplace (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The conclusion has been reached in this study that in order for office workers not to suffer musculoskeletal system pain, it is very important that the working environment should be ergonomically arranged and that various measures should be taken to ensure healthy life behavior.

Work is the basic research category of labour pedagogy. Within its scope, there happen profound transformations resulting from the development of the fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0 and the increasingly common application of digital workforce in world economies, i.e. of smart and learning machines. These issues have been the subject of the following reflections. They inspire one to ask research questions concerning the future of work; its meaning, character and contents. The key issue remains whether work will remain ‘human’.
PL
Praca jest podstawową kategorią badawczą pedagogiki pracy. W jej obszarze zachodzą wielkie przeobrażenia wynikające z rozwoju czwartej rewolucji przemysłowej, Przemysłu 4.0 oraz coraz powszechniejszego zastosowania cyfrowej siły roboczej w gospodarce światowej, a zatem inteligentnych i uczących się maszyn. Zagadnieniom tym poświęcono prezentowane rozważania. Inspirują one do stawiania pytań badawczych na temat przyszłości pracy; jej sensu, charakteru i treści. Kluczowe pozostaje pytanie, czy praca będzie dalej ‘ludzka’.
