Working System Improvement by Macroergonomics Approach

Abstract

Companies are required to provide good service for the sake of continuity of production activities in the company. Such demands cause workers to always work optimally, but not aligned with the workload received by workers. This causes workers can not maintain good health so as to trigger the absence of workers during the appointed working hours. This study aims to identify the condition of each component of the company’s work system and propose improvements to the condition of the components of the company’s work system. The method used in work system improvement is Path Analysis (path analysis). By using Path Analysis (path analysis) obtained Relationship Between X1 (social environment) and Y (work system) that is equal to 0.885 This shows a very strong relationship. The Relationship Between X2 (Work Conditions) and Y (work system) of 0.743 indicates a very strong relationship. The relationship between X3 (individual characteristics) and Y (working system) that is equal to 0.689 shows a very strong relationship. The relationship between X4 (organizational conditions) and Y (work system) that is equal to 0.927 shows a very strong relationship. Relationship Between X5 (Equipment and Technology) and Y (work system) that is equal to 0.379 this shows weak relationship. The relationship between X6 (physical environment) and Y (work system) is equal to 0.638 and this shows as a strong relationship. Based on the results of research relationships between components then the improvement of work system components are components of the physical environment and organizational conditions.
