Penyelidikan ini bertujuan mengkaji perhubungan di antara faktor stesen kerja ergonomik dan akibat stres. 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 reka bentuk stesen kerja ergonomik merupakan strategi penting dalam meminimumkan akibat stres dalam organisasi. Analisis korelasi Pearson mengukuhkan kenyataan ini dengan menunjukkan kesemua faktor stesen kerja ergonomik mempunyai kekuatan hubungan yang signifikan dengan akibat stres. Analisis regresi linear berbilang menunjukkan faktor kesihatan, reka bentuk ruang kerja, kerja syif, sistem pengudaraan dan tempoh masa bekerja mempunyai hubungan signifikan dengan akibat stres. Komponen stesen kerja ergonomik pula membuktikan bahawa faktor manusia dan persekitaran mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan dengan akibat stres. Kata kunci: Ergonomik; stres; operator pengeluaran; stesen kerja; organisasi multinasional This study aims to examine the relationship between ergonomics workstation factors and the work stress outcomes. Five hundred samples of manufacturing operators were derived from eleven manufacturing electronics organizations which were registered with Malaysian International Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI) by using proportionate stratified random sampling. Questionnaires were used for the data collection process. The major finding shows that ergonomically designed workstation is an important strategy in minimizing the work stress outcomes in organizations. These findings have been supported by the Pearson correlation analysis which shows that all ergonomics workstation factors have high significant correlation with the work stress outcomes. The multiple regression analysis shows health, work area design, work shift, humidity system and working hours factors have significant relationship with work stress outcomes. Furthermore, ergonomics workstation components proved that the human and environment factors have significant relationship with the work stress outcomes. Key words: Ergonomics, stress, manufacturing operator, workstation, multinational organizations

Well-being and mental health can impact life and job satisfaction. Additionally, well-being is also associated with productivity and is becoming a concern in the growth of SMEs in Malaysia. This research aimed to explore the factors that affect the well-being of entrepreneurs in Malaysian SMEs. A systematic literature review was conducted in which research papers published from 2014 to 2021 were included. After the full-text screening, 25 articles were reviewed for qualitative synthesis. Entrepreneurial stressors, social support, individual factors, and business factors were identified as factors affecting the well-being of entrepreneurs. There are limited studies on the well-being of entrepreneurs, especially in Malaysia. Hence, future studies should focus on this, as Malaysian SMEs are significant contributors to the economy.
