“…Due to the mounting pressure from stakeholders, work conditions have become imperative for firms to take under consideration (Aziz et al, 2015;Górny, 2017). This is because work condition has emerged as a detrimental element to boost the energy level with which the employees perform in any working place (Jimenez et al, 2017).…”

The current research investigated the indirect conditional effect of motivation and job satisfaction between work conditions-job performance relationships in the telecomm sector of Pakistan. This is a survey-based study and the questionnaire was developed using pre-established scales. The sample consisted of full time employees in telecommunication sector of Lahore and Karachi. Partial least square structural equation modeling was conducted to explore the relationships between Work conditions and Job performance. The research on work conditions of organizations in emerging economies is still inadequate. Preceding scholars have mainly focused on various factors to enhance the performance of the employees such as training and job redesigning. This study focused on how healthy workplace conditions aid the employee to raise their satisfaction level and efficiency. These important issues have strong managerial implications since utilitarian managers face tough choices in assigning their restricted resources and in prioritizing strategic initiatives. Our finding that work conditions contribute positively to efficiency of employees recommends that firm can reap benefits by adopting such Aideed Bashir

In order to function effectively, enterprises need to define various fields of their activity [1], [2]. This includes safety criteria and the satisfaction of safety-related needs of their workers [3]. Occupational safety should be seen as a set of working conditions that enable workers to operate safely. Such conditions are defined with reference to hazards and strains associated with ergonomic risk factors. Their identification is vital for meeting employee needs and expectations [4]. An effort to ensure them should be viewed as critical for competitiveness, leading to advantageous contracts. Many benefits are a direct consequence of the trust earned by enterprises that successfully shield themselves and their partners from losses precipitated by safety deficiencies.The article attempts to find ways to employ the network thinking methodology to identify ergonomic risk factors and thus essentially contribute to improving occupational safety by mitigating ergonomic hazards. ENSURING SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS BY MITIGATING HAZARDS IN SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISESRisk mitigation efforts need to be combined with the knowledge on how to improve the work environment. Every employer, manufacturing process designer and rank-and-file employee should be keenly aware of workplace risks and the need to mitigate their impacts [5], [6], [7], [8]. Some of the key responsibilities of employers associated with the improvement of working conditions are to: Ensure that the workplace fits the individual characteristics of workers and their jobs while protecting worker health,  Provide workers with working conditions that adequately satisfy their needs,  Consult and collaborate with their workers.To establish safety standards, it is essential to define and document actions taken to reduce the impacts of risks, including the impacts of ergonomic risk factors.

“…Technical controls are preferable to administrative and personal protective equipment (PPE) for controlling existing worker exposure in the workplace as they aim to remove the hazard at the source before it comes into contact with the worker. Well-designed engineering controls can be very effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to ensure this high level of protection [ 35 ]. The initial cost of engineering controls may be higher than the cost of administrative controls or PPE, but in the long run, operating costs are often lower.…”

The purpose of the research paper was to develop a universal residual risk assessment tool based on the use of risk control measures related to Covid-19 in order to determine the state of organizational resilience of individual industries or organizations. The article proposes and analyzes a pandemic residual risk assessment tool, which is a simple and universal source for residual risk estimation based on a five-step consequence/probability matrix, a five-step hierarchy of risk controls, and a general formula for calculating residual risk. The methodology of the survey is based on a questionnaire with 16 questions used for the initial validation of the residual risk scale, of which six related to the potential of organizational resilience. The pilot survey was conducted in 66 enterprises in Poland. On the basis of the survey, four measures related to the use of control measures against threats after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic have been proposed. These are personal protective equipment (PPE) controls, administrative controls, engineering controls, and substitution controls. Using the survey results, we estimated averages of the response results, and, on their basis, we estimated the residual risks for individual types of enterprises according to the type of business and its size. Based on the calculations, a strong correlation was found between the potential of organizational resilience and the individual use of control measures. Therefore, the main finding of the survey proves that effective risk management builds organizational resilience in enterprises. The practical implications of the study allow the management staff to find out what aspects related to the use of control measures need to be paid attention to in order to minimize residual risk.
