The biological approach to job design comes primarily from the sciences of biomechanics (i.e., the study of body movements), work physiology, and occupational medicine. The goal of this approach is to minimize physical strain on the worker by structuring the physical work environment around the way the human body works. It therefore focuses on outcomes such as physical fatigue, aches and pains, and health complaints. Research in this tradition looks a bit more on the context in which it takes place rather than the work itself, and hence issues like lighting, space, and hours worked become more salient from this perspective.
