THE EFFECT OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH IMPLEMENTATION ON WORK MOTIVATION AND PRODUCTIVITY IN XYZ FURNITURE PRODUCTION IN SLEMAN REGENCY

Occupational safety and health Path analysis Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Work motivation

Authors

Background: The XYZ furniture in Sleman Regency has three workstations: (1) Measuring and cutting, (2) Refining, and (3) Finishing. The production process in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) still needs to implement OSH principles fully. Purpose: To determine how implementing occupational health and safety measures affects work motivation and productivity. Method: In this research, the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method was used, and all six employees were involved in the production process, aged 22 to 32 years. Result: The research demonstrates a significant positive impact of OSH implementation on work motivation (tcount = 3.477, p-value = 0.000), highlighting its substantial influence in enhancing employee motivation. Furthermore, a notable positive association is found between OSH implementation and work productivity (tcount = 3.653, p-value = 0.000), confirming the significant contribution of OSH practices to overall work productivity improvement. Additionally, the investigation reveals that work motivation significantly influences increased work productivity (tcount = 2.641, p-value = 0.008), underscoring the importance of cultivating motivation for enhancing workplace productivity. The highest influence value of the ten indicators (X24) is 9.18, which indicates work quality. Conclusion: The direct application of OSH substantially impacts on both work motivation and productivity. Moreover, a significant relationship is observed between work motivation and work productivity. Considering the utmost importance of work quality, improvements are recommended to enhance workstation design through a participatory ergonomics approach, and implementing the 5S concept in the furniture production area can effectively increase work quality.
