PERHUBUNGAN ANTARA STESEN KERJA ERGONOMIK DAN STRES: KAJIAN TERHADAP OPERATOR PENGELUARAN DI ORGANISASI MULTINASIONAL DI MALAYSIA

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between ergonomics workstation factors and the work stress outcomes. Five hundred samples of manufacturing operators were derived from eleven manufacturing electronics organizations which were registered with Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) by using proportionate stratified random sampling. Questionnaires were used for the data collection process. The major finding shows that ergonomically designed workstation is an important strategy in minimizing the work stress outcomes in organizations. These findings have been supported by the Pearson correlation analysis which shows that all ergonomics workstation factors have high significant correlation with the work stress outcomes. The multiple regression analysis shows health, work area design, work shift, humidity system and working hours factors have significant relationship with work stress outcomes. Furthermore, ergonomics workstation components proved that the human and environment factors have significant relationship with the work stress outcomes.
