Human-ecological model of work

Book cover Human Quality Management , Springer-Gabler 2015

Rudolf Karazman's "human-ecological model of work" assumes that work promotes human health and development if the world of work is characterized by three qualities:

  • social inclusion
  • Finding meaning through meaningful challenges
  • regenerable effort

According to Karazman, a workflow designed in this way enables the best performance because it allows collaboration, commitment and work ability to be brought together. Therefore, the human-ecological model is a target of strategic corporate management in human quality management . If these qualities are missing, the risk of illness, crisis or conflict increases because everyday work exhausts people and is no longer enriching.

Human Quality Management

Human Quality Management is the strategic management approach developed by Rudolf Karazman, which aims to achieve optimal performance through the best development of employees. His goal is a humane (human-ecological) company organization, which promotes health and personality through high quality of work and at the same time is associated with sustainably high performance. The target variable is the “working capacity”, defined as the ability and ability of the co-workers to collaborate. The human work index , which is made up of cooperation, finding meaning and coping with work, is a benchmark for the amount of work capacity and thus a central tax indicator for corporate management . According to Karazman, work capacity is considered high when these three factors are brought into harmony. Employees with high working capacity show personal development at work that promotes health and the willingness to innovate in their work environment, but also in their private lives.

Expressions of work capacity

  • Average work capacity is characterized by impersonal routine; the work is not experienced as interesting and fulfilling, but serves the purpose of earning money in order to first find meaningful fulfillment in private.
  • Average work capacity does not have a lasting effect.
  • A low work capacity is characterized by chronic physical excessive demands, professional insufficient demands and social discrimination and leads in the medium term to illness, crisis or dismissal.

Human Work Index

IBG innovative company health management
IBG has around 170 employees in 2019, 70 of whom are occupational physicians

The Human Work Index , developed by Rudolf Karazman together with his wife Inge Karazman-Morawetz, subjectively measures the work capacity and management skills in a company by interviewing employees. With its help, forecasts can be made for the likelihood of employees remaining and prospects for sales growth can be estimated. The indicator is based on 30 questions, the answers of which are transferred to the Human Work Index using an algorithm . The algorithm developed by the Karazman couple is the result of around 100 company projects that have been carried out in 20 years on a database of over 100,000 employees. With the help of the index, statements can be made about the health, well-being and quality of life of the workforce. According to Karazman, it is the first human indicator in the world of work that allows predictions for the stability of the workforce and profitability over five years from the level of the current work capacity of employees.
