Objective: To determine the association of Upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders and Exposure to Ergonomic risk factors among handicraft workers. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in a 12 weeks’ duration i.e. from November 2018 till January 2019. Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire was used to determine the frequency of upper limb musculoskeletal disorders. Postural analysis was done using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA). Data was collected from 100 Handicraft workers and the type of work included Art work (n=18), Ada Work (n=7), botanical arrangement (n=11), Textile, fashion designing and stitching (n=38), Fine arts (n=20), embroidery and knitting (n=6). Results: The frequency distribution of Rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) score for exposure to risk factors showed that 47 participants were at a high risk and required implementation of change. Most of the participants (n=35) reported pain in neck and shoulder (n=29). The chi square test for association between pain in upper extremity and exposure to risk factors showed that only wrist pain had statistically significant association with overall RULA score (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that neck and shoulder are more frequently affected among handicraft workers. The frequency of workers who were at high ergonomic risk and required implementation of change in working conditions was high. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.2.749 How to cite this:Mahmood W, Bashir MS, Ehsan S, Qureshi MA.

“…A review of literature suggests that job satisfaction is positively correlated to organizational commitment (Moynihan, Bosswell and Bondreau, 2000), productivity (Böckerman and Ilmakunnas, 2012) and job performance (Hira and Waqas, 2012). Further, researchers have found significant cross-sector differences in job satisfaction (Gupta and Pannu, 2013;Singh and Jain, 2005;Mulinge, 2000;Sokoya, 2000;Meena and Dangayach, 2012).

The significance of banking sector in a nation's economy has led researchers to focus on the role of bank employees who contribute to national development. The schism between public and private sector banks in terms of their structure and functioning among other things, has led the present study to examine the influence of organizational trust on job satisfaction and organizational commitment among middle-level executives in these two banking sectors. Data was collected from middle-level executives (N=100) from private (n=50) and public (n=50) sector banks in Delhi and N.C.R., using purposive sampling. The measures of The Organizational Trust Index, Organizational Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and Organizational Commitment Scale were employed in the present research. Findings suggest that the two groups differ significantly in terms of organizational trust and job satisfaction. On affective and normative commitment, the executives of the two banking sectors differed significantly, though not so on continuous commitment. Further, regression analysis showed that organizational trust has a significant influence on job satisfaction and organizational commitment among middle-level executives of public and private sector banks. Results were analyzed and interpreted in light of existing theoretical framework and Indian socio-cultural context.
