Stres pekerjaan dalam organisasi merupakan isu yang perlu diberi keutamaan. Tinjauan literatur menunjukkan faktor - faktor stesen kerja ergonomik boleh menyebabkan stres dalam kalangan pekerja. Keadaan yang berterusan akan memberi impak negatif kepada pekerja seperti kekerapan ketidakhadiran bekerja, konflik dalam diri, kemalangan pekerjaan dan seterusnya memberi kesan ke atas prestasi. Kajian ini bertujuan mengkaji hubungan antara stesen kerja ergonomik dengan stres pekerjaan. Seramai 117 orang pekerja kesihatan daripada klinik kesihatan telah dipilih dengan menggunakan persampelan rawak berlapis. Borang soal selidik telah digunakan dalam proses pengumpulan data kajian yang meliputi faktor stesen kerja ergonomik iaitu manusia, ruang dan persekitaran sebagai pembolehubah bebas dan stres pekerjaan sebagai pembolehubah bersandar. Kajian mendapati tahap kesedaran aspek ergonomik di tempat kerja berada pada tahap sederhana rendah. Dapatan juga menunjukkan faktor manusia mempunyai hubungan yang positif dan sederhana serta signifkan terhadap stesen kerja (r=0.668 n=117 p=0.000). Manakala analisis regresi berganda yang dilakukan, membuktikan bahawa faktor manusia dan ruang kerja mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan terhadap stres pekerjaan. Secara keseluruhannya, penemuan kajian ini membuktikan bahawa aspek stesen kerja ergonomik perlu diberi perhatian sewajarnya oleh pihak organisasi bagi memastikan sumber manusia berada dalam keadaan sihat, berdaya saing dan produktif.

Abstract: Occupational stress in organizations is an issue that needs to be prioritized. Past studies reported that ergonomic workstation factors can cause stress among workers. Consistent stress due to ergonomic workstation may create negative impact on employees such as frequent absences from work, internal conflicts, occupational accidents and decrease in work performance. This study aims to examine the relationship between workstation ergonomics and occupational stress. A total of 117 health workers from health clinics were selected using stratified random sampling. Questionnaires were used in the data collection process of the study which covered ergonomic workstation factors, namely people, space and environment as independent variables and job stress as a dependent variable.The study found that the level of awareness of ergonomic aspects in the workplace is at a moderately low level. Findings also show that human factors have a positive and moderate and significant relationship with workstations (r=0.668 n=117 p=0.000). While the multiple regression analysis result, proves that human factors and workspace have a significant relationship with job stress. Overall, the findings of this study prove that ergonomic aspects of work deserve better attention by organizations to ensure that ahuman resources are in a healthy, competitive, and able to work productively.
