.Ergonomics is becoming an increasingly important practice to the workplace.
Ergonomics involves adapting jobs and workplaces to the worker. The economic
implications o f ergonomics involve medical cost reduction, less absenteeism and
higher worker productivity. Studies have indicated that ergonomics can affect
workers physically and psychologically. Through environmental, tool and job design,
ergonomics can reduce strain (e.g., physical discomfort, fatigue, and tension) in the
workplace. Strain is the response to experienced stress. The impact on experienced
stress is salient as experienced stress in the workplace has the inverse effect of
ergonomics on corporate profitability. Psychological stress occurs when one perceives
that environmental demands exceed capabilities. Experienced stress in the workplace
manifests itself in poor physical health, poor mental health, and is associated with
organizational symptoms such as low productivity, job dissatisfaction, absenteeism,
turnover, and alcohol and drug use.
This study examines ergonomics and its potential to alleviate organizational stress
and other personal and work outcomes, specifically somatic complaints, job induced
tension, general fatigue and job dissatisfaction directly and through perceptions of
person-environment fit and perceptions o f control. Findings indicate positive
relationships between ergonomic design (adjustable chair, wall color, work area
design) and ergonomic training (training satisfaction, training understanding) with
