Abstract:
In today's fast-paced work environments, optimizing productivity has become a critical concern for organizations across various industries. One often-overlooked factor that significantly influences productivity is ergonomics—the science of designing the workplace to fit the worker. This study aims to investigate the level of understanding about ergonomics among the employees, to assess the current ergonomic practices and interventions implemented, to identify the specific ergonomic challenges and areas for improvement and to analyze the correlation between ergonomic interventions and key performance indicators (KPIs). It also examines individuals' perceptions of how ergonomics enhances their productivity. A sample of 115 employees were randomly selected for data collection. Various statistical methods including, ANOVA, Friedman test, Factor analysis, and chi-square tests were employed for data analysis. The findings highlight the significant role ergonomics in enhancing productivity of the employees. Clear associations were observed between demographic factors such as age, gender, and various aspects of ergonomic interventions in the workplace. The findings underscore the importance of considering demographic factors when implementing ergonomic interventions in the workplace. Significant correlations were found between ergonomics and various key performance indicators, indicating better ergonomic interventions are linked to better performance outcomes. Improved ergonomic conditions lead to decreased absenteeism, enhanced comfort, and increased productivity in completing task. The findings suggest that organizations should prioritize ergonomic initiatives to enhance employee productivity and promote organizational success. This study underscores the significance of incorporating ergonomic considerations into workplace design and management practices to foster a healthier, more productive workforce. By prioritizing ergonomics, organizations can not only optimize productivity but also cultivate a culture of well-being and efficiency conducive to sustainable growth and success in the modern business landscape.
