EN Purpose: The aim of this article is to predict the impact of selected ergonomic interventions (EIs) on the variables of sustainable development of organizations (SDOs) in small and medium-sized enterprises in the fish food production industry. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed repetitive questionnaire assessments and workplace evaluations, including the use of measuring devices. The prediction results were compared with the evaluation of the ergonomics of the implemented EIs in the organization. Findings: Promising prediction results were obtained regarding the employee's task load. The predictions indicate the validity of applying EIs more broadly to achieve benefits for SDO. The results show a positive impact of automation on reducing the overall task load. Research limitations/implications: A limitation of the study is the sample size due to employment in a small enterprise and the limitations of the FCM Expert program. Practical implications: The study provides an analysis of the possibilities of applying ergonomic interventions (EI) in the fish food production industry and can be used to support decision-making in organizations that prioritize sustainable development. Social implications: The subject matter addressed in this study is important for ensuring human well-being by shaping appropriate working conditions. Originality/value: The originality of the study lies in the creation of a model for predicting the impact of ergonomic interventions (EI) on sustainable development outcomes (SDO) in the niche food industry of fish food production.
