Meso ergonomics continues to develop, research journals on meso ergonomics continue to increase in number, meso ergonomic discussions are carried out ranging from the scope of studies to the application of meso ergonomics in various fields. Macro, meso and micro ergonomics do not yet have clear scope limits, this makes the researchers continue to conduct studies on the limits of meso ergonomic studies. The application of ergonomic science continues to be developed by researchers, during the span of 1997 to 2017 a total of 51 studies on ergonomic meso were carried out, the main focus of the research was carried out in the fields of health, services, manufacturing and other fields. Meso ergonomic research in the field of health as many as 20 studies, 6 services and 12 fields of manufacturing and 13 other fields of research. Most research occurred in the health sector with the most research in 2005 as many as 5 studies, research in the field of health, especially in hospitals consisting of, managerial design and improvement, improvement of hospital services and the impact of managerial policies on nurses. In the field of services, the focus of his research is the managerial system and improvement of the customer's perspective on services. In manufacturing the focus of the research is to maximize output by taking into account worker fatigue. All fields of ergonomic meso studies will be evaluated because they still have shortcomings and are not credible
