Previous studies have demonstrated that a positive ergonomics climate with an equal focus on improving operational performance and employee well-being is beneficial to both employee health and organizational performance. This study aimed to assess the ergonomics climate at two power plants and examine its association with self-reported pain, performance, and well-being. At two power plants in Iran, survey responses from 109 and 110 employees were obtained. The questionnaires contained data on ergonomics climate, organizational performance, employee health, and self-reported pain. Results showed that the mean ergonomics climate scores between the Besat and Rey power plants were significantly different ( < 0.001). The overall ergonomics climate score, and all subscales scores, were positively associated with organizational performance ( < 0.001). The overall ergonomics climate score, and some of its subscales, were significantly associated with employees' general health ( < 0.001). The ergonomics climate score was significantly higher in the group of employees who reported musculoskeletal pain than those who did not report musculoskeletal pain ( < 0.05). Investigation of ergonomics climate can provide organizations with a baseline for prioritizing their values and finding areas for improving organizational performance and employee health.
先前的研究表明，注重提高运营绩效和员工福祉的积极人机工程学氛围，有利于员工健康和组织绩效。本研究旨在评估伊朗两家电厂的人机工程学氛围，并研究其与自我报告的疼痛、绩效和幸福感之间的关系。在伊朗的两家电厂，共获得了 109 名和 110 名员工的调查回复。调查问卷包含了人机工程学氛围、组织绩效、员工健康和自我报告疼痛的数据。结果表明，Besat 和 Rey 电厂的人机工程学氛围平均得分存在显著差异（<0.001）。整体人机工程学氛围得分和所有子量表得分与组织绩效呈正相关（<0.001）。整体人机工程学氛围得分和其中一些子量表得分与员工的一般健康状况显著相关（<0.001）。报告肌肉骨骼疼痛的员工人机工程学氛围得分显著高于未报告肌肉骨骼疼痛的员工（<0.05）。对人机工程学氛围的调查可以为组织提供一个基准，以便确定其价值观的优先级，并找到改善组织绩效和员工健康的领域。
