The Israel Ergonomics Society has been established in 1981. The society consists of researchers, professionals, and corporations that are active in various domains within the discipline of ergonomics. The society represents Israel in the International Ergonomics Society (IEA) and is managed by a chairperson, a secretary, a treasurer and a committee that formally represent the members of the society (functionaries).

The primary goal of the society is to advance the knowledge of ergonomics and its implementation in work environments. The society initiates various activities, such as conferences and workshops, in order to advance ergonomics knowledge and promote the cooperation between organizations, researchers, and professionals. The society also provides service to public organizations and professional activities, and maintains relations with comparable organizations around the world.
