Abstract :
Abstract:-This study aims to determine the influence of
ergonomic chair improvements on Musculoskeletal
Disorders (MSDs) complaints and productivity among
sewing workers at PT X. The research population
consisted of 30 workers in the sewing department using a
sampling technique. This study employed an analytical
quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach
conducted at Company X. The sample size was 30
workers, selected through random sampling. Data
collection involved anthropometric measurements, pre-
improvement assessment of work chairs, the provision of
ergonomic chairs tailored to the workers'
anthropometry, and the use of the Nordic Body Map
questionnaire to assess musculoskeletal complaints. Data
processing and analysis were performed using the
nonparametric Wilcoxon test in SPSS version 16.0. The
analysis of the difference in musculoskeletal complaints
before and after the intervention using the Wilcoxon test
yielded an Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (p value
0.001 < 0.01), indicating a highly significant result. The
analysis of the difference in total productivity before and
after the intervention using the Wilcoxon test resulted in
an Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.004 (p value 0.004 <
0.05), indicating a highly significant result. In conclusion,
this study demonstrates that there is an influence of
ergonomic chair improvements on musculoskeletal
complaints and productivity among sewing workers at
PT X.
