Abstract
The study investigated the organisational ergonomics framework and Business Educators’ job commitment in universities in Rivers State. Two research questions were answered, while two hypotheses were tested. A correlational research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 47 business educators from three universities in Rivers State. The census sampling technique was adopted due to its manageable size. Two structured instruments (OEFQ and BEJCQ) validated by experts in business education and measurement and evaluation were used for data collection. The reliability index of 0.93 and 0.76 was obtained, respectively, using Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analysed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r). A post-hoc t-transformation test was also carried out to test the significance of the correlation coefficient. Findings from the study revealed a positive and significant relationship between production ergonomics, proactive ergonomics, and Business Educators job commitment in universities in Rivers State. Based on the findings, the researchers concluded that the organisational ergonomics framework is a comprehensive approach that improves workplace ergonomics and further recommended that university management should provide ergonomic tools and equipment that are adjustable and suitable to individual body sizes and capabilities that can help to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and improve overall comfort. Institutions should also establish an ergonomic committee with the responsibility of training faculty members about proper ergonomics as well as conducting regular evaluations of equipment and tools.
