The volume Adapting the management system and ergonomics in organizations to the personality traits of engineers, proposes a reflective, inductive exercise to increase the productivity of employees in the organization. Starting from the psychological and behavioral profile of the engineers, the ergonomic characteristics of the working environment in the organization are particularized: the physical environment - elements of interior design and the psycho-social environment - the organizational management. Following the modeling of the work environment according to the defining features of the engineers, as a socio-professional category, the well-being of the employees increases, because the ergonomic space constituted corresponds to the internal needs. Well-being will be directly reflected in employee results and will lead to increased productivity at the organizational level. The approach proposed in the paper, to build the physical work environment and to choose the management strategy according to the needs and expectations of employees, is antagonistic to the Procustian model, which requires the employee to adapt to a fixed work environment and the managerial approach imposed by the structure. and the specifics of the organization. Huge sums are spent by large organizations to adapt employees to the specifics, structure and internal managerial style. The employee is either elongated, by trying to develop skills, skills that he has latent or does not have at all, or is hired, by the desire to shape what he already has, to fit him as well as possible in his bed. Procust.
The approach followed by the paper: psychological characteristics of engineers - ergonomics - well-being - productivity is presented in the figure below.
