Abstract:
The study examined the effect of ergonomic factors on employees' performance in the brewery industry, using Nigerian Breweries PLC, Ama, Enugu State, Nigeria as the study area. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. Major statistical stools of analysis were summary statistics of percentages, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Findings suggest that having adequate office workspace significantly and positively affects employees' performance. The study reveals too that adequate office furniture motivates employees and as a result, it positively influences their performance. Similarly, organizational welfare facilities/incentives were found to be having significant and positive effects on employees' performance. The study concludes that employees' performance in an organization is affected by the level of ergonomic factors in the organization. Therefore, it is erroneous to think that employees are motivated only by enhanced remuneration. It was recommended among others that the work environments (offices) should be designed in a way that permits easy navigation of employees for safety and optimal performance.
