The number of studies investigating the relationship between office employees and the development of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is limited. Only a few focused on assessing workplace ergonomics of office employees.
This study aims to investigate the risk of MSDs and associated factors in the office workplaces of a large-size manufacturing company.
Data were gathered from 208 office employees from a manufacturing company via Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) and Cornell questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed to examine the relationship between ergonomic risk levels and MSDs reported by the office staff.
The mean ROSA final score is 3.52 (std. dev. = 0.71), chair section is 3.30, monitor and telephone section is 2.18, and mouse and keyboard section is 2.69. Thirty-nine of 208 (18.8%) office workplaces are at risk. The most important factor to raise the risk level is found to be the height and depth of the chair. The Cornell questionnaire results highlight that the highest discomfort severity is related to the neck (32.26%), lower back (23.23%) and upper back (22.26%). The discomforts in the neck (r = 0.362), upper back (r = 0.404) and lower back (r = 0.368) are moderately and positively correlated according to the final ROSA score. The results indicate that the highest risked departments are Accounting, Sub Industry, Production Planning, and Manufacturing Management.
The parameters associated with the chair section should be considered a priority for reducing and eliminating MSDs among office employees.
研究办公室员工与肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）发展之间关系的研究数量有限。只有少数研究侧重于评估办公室员工的工作场所人体工程学。
本研究旨在调查一家大型制造公司办公室工作场所 MSD 的风险和相关因素。
通过快速办公室应变评估（ROSA）和康奈尔问卷，从一家制造公司的 208 名办公室员工中收集数据。收集的数据用于分析办公室员工报告的人体工程学风险水平与 MSD 之间的关系。
ROSA 最终评分的平均值为 3.52（标准差=0.71），椅子部分为 3.30，显示器和电话部分为 2.18，鼠标和键盘部分为 2.69。208 个办公室工作场所中有 39 个（18.8%）存在风险。发现提高风险水平的最重要因素是椅子的高度和深度。康奈尔问卷结果强调，颈部（32.26%）、下背部（23.23%）和上背部（22.26%）的不适程度最高。颈部（r=0.362）、上背部（r=0.404）和下背部（r=0.368）的不适与最终 ROSA 评分呈中度正相关。结果表明，风险最高的部门是会计、子行业、生产计划和制造管理。
应优先考虑与椅子部分相关的参数，以减少和消除办公室员工的 MSD。
