Description The realities o f life show that nowadays work stress is a major workplace problem as compared to the past and it has become among the major causes that contribute to workplace accidents and injuries. The occurrence ofwork stress is quite rampant in manufacturing organizations involving blue collar workers. The literature reveals that poor ergonomics workstation environment is among the major contributor to the work stress problems. Thus, this study aims to examine the relationship between ergonomics workstation factors and the work stress outcomes. Using the proportionate stratified random sampling method five hundred samples of manufacturing operators were chosen from eleven manufacturing electronics organisations that are registered with the Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCl). Questionnaires were usedfor the data collections process. The major findings show that ergonomically designed workstation is an important strategy in minimising the work stress outcomes in organisations. Through the multiple regression analysis, ergonomics workstation factor collectively show significant relationship with the workstress outcomes. The multiple regression analysis shows, humidity, body postures, working hours, work area design, lighting and work shift factors have significant relationship with work stress outcomes. Overall, the findings of this research are important to organizations which are in need o f healthy and competent human resources in line with the aspiration of a dynamic human capital development as stated under the Ninth Malaysia Plan.Keywords: Workplace stress, ergonomics, work environment, workstation, production operatorsABSTRAKRealiti kehidupan menunjukkan pada masa kini stres di tempat kerja adalah lebih ketara berbanding dahulu dan merupakan antara penyebab utama berlakunya kemalangan dan kecederaan di tempat kerja. Situasi ini sering berlaku di organisasi perkilangan yang melibatkan pekerja kolar biru. Tinjauan literatur menunjukkan bahawa persekitaran stesen kerja yang tidak ergonomik merupakan antara penyebab utama kepada masalah stres di tempat kerja. Oleh itu, penyelidikan ini bertujuan mengkaji perhubungan di antara faktor stesen kerja ergonomik dan kesan stres di tempat kerja. Sampel seramai lima ratus operator pengeluaran telah dipilih daripada sebelas organisasi perkilangan elektronik yang berdaftar dengan Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) dengan menggunakan kaedah persampelan rawak berstrata berkadaran. Kaedah soal selidik telah digunakan dalam proses pengumpulan data kajian ini. Penemuan utama menunjukkan rekabentuk stesen kerja ergonomik merupakan strategi penting dalam meminimumkan kesan stres dalam organisasi kerja. Melalui analisis regresi linear berbilang, faktor stesen kerja ergonomik secara bersamanya mempunyai hubungan signifikan dengan akibat stres. Analisis regresi linear berbilang menunjukkan faktor pengudaraan, kedudukan tubuh badan, tempoh masa bekerja, rekabentuk ruang kerja, pencahayaan dan kerja syif mempunyai hubungan signifikan dengan akibat stres. Secara keseluruhannya, penemuan penyelidikan ini amat bermakna kepada organisasi yang ingin memastikan sumber manusianya sihat dan berdaya saing sejajar dengan aspirasi pembangunan modal insan yang dinamik seperti yang ditetapkan dalam Rancangan Malaysia ke-9.Kata kunci: Stres di tempat kerja, ergonomik, persekitaran kerja, stesen kerja, operator pengeluaran
