Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study was to create ergonomics and human factors awareness and wakefulness in a Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company with emphasis on understanding the importance of improving safety, health, and work condition. The study sought to develop and implement one kind of “Job enrichment” with the purpose of improving employees’ competence and also to motivate participation at the workplaces in an ‘appreciative way’. The survey approach was used. Data was collected from 60 selected individuals from different organizational levels using the participatory ergonomics process that entailed the use of an action checklist and ergonomic checkpoints, as well as the review of organizational documents. Eighty seven percent of these study participants were male while the remaining 13% were female. The participants had an average age of 38 years with the standard deviation of 9.74. They had 11.81 years of service in average with the standard deviation of 9.76. In the data collection procedure, technical sessions, based on action learning, whichlasted for 30, 25 h, or 1657 man h, was also held for the participants. In the data collection, the participants were made to study the action-checklist before and after completing the ergonomic checkpoints. This resulted in a 0.3 percent improvement in the technical capabilities of the participants and improved their social skills and their interest in participation in the company during this study. Based on the analysis of participants’ feedbacks on the implementation of different work evaluation approaches and their reflection from learning, key findings were made through intentional learning, based on a systemic pre-intervention ergonomics work process on how the participants could be empowered in technical and social skills.

How could you use the ergonomic checkpoints for job enrichment in an ‘appreciative way’ in industrial of industrially developing countries?
- 2014
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper describes five steps for ‘Appreciative Inquiry’ to purpose understanding from getting to use “ergonomic checkpoints”, in an ‘appreciative way’ including;1)Definition of frame implementing a phase method for pre-systemic ergonomicsintervention work process; 2) Discovery; what are appreciative and activelearning, and how it has worked? (The research model) 3) Dream; howvision and voices of the future in industries of industrially developing countries? (The Learner at the Centre) 4) Design; how to give to values and ideals using power “participatory ergonomics process”? (The tactic of pulling) 5) Destiny; how make it happen? (Inspired action and improvisation)
