Abstract

The objectives of this research were to 1) examine the levels of ergonomic risks, the Big Five personality traits, and work fatigue; 2) compare work fatigue across demographic factors, including gender, age, education level, and years of work experience; 3) examine the relationships of ergonomic risks and the Big Five personality traits with the work fatigue of office personnel; and 4) evaluate the predictive power of ergonomic risks and the Big Five personality traits on work fatigue. The sample consisted of 155 office personnel. The research instruments included a personal demographic questionnaire, a work fatigue questionnaire, the Big Five personality questionnaire, and an ergonomic risks assessment using the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including the independent-samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis (enter method), with the significance level set at .05. The findings revealed that work fatigue differed significantly by gender, with females reporting higher work fatigue than males. Ergonomic risks and neuroticism were significantly and positively associated with work fatigue, whereas agreeableness, conscientiousness, and extraversion were negatively associated with it. Furthermore, ergonomic risks, neuroticism, and agreeableness jointly predicted work fatigue, explaining 36.1% of the variance. Neuroticism was the strongest predictor followed by ergonomic risks and agreeableness.
