Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to specify the ergonomic requirements for management work positions. A theoretical framework was taken from the Jastrzębowski’s conception of ergonomics. Jastrzębowski is recognised as a founder of ergonomics as a scientific discipline (Jastrzębowski, 1857). According to the Jastrze˛bowski’s conception the following four dimensions of ergonomics were considered to explore managerial work positions: 1. managerial work as a good job, i.e. a praxeological dimension; 2. managerial work as art and play, i.e. an esthetical dimension; 3. managerial work as thinking, i.e. a cognitive dimension; 4. managerial work as a devotion, i.e. a moral dimension. Moreover, the paper proposes extending the moral dimension to the issues related with being a subject of one’s managerial work and strengthening a sense of being the subjects in the employees.
