Abstract

Background: Informal sector workers in Makassar City are vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to working conditions with minimal ergonomic standards. Work posture evaluation is needed to map the level of risk and design appropriate interventions.Purpose: To evaluate the level of risk of work posture among informal workers in Makassar City using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method to describe the potential for MSDs.Methods: A descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 30 active informal workers in Makassar who performed manual work with a dominant posture of standing, bending, or lifting their hands. Data collection was conducted in December 2025 using the REBA observation sheet to assess work posture holistically.Result: The REBA score showed an average of 7.8 (median 8). Forty percent of workers (n=12) were in the moderate risk category (score 4-7), 46.7% (n=14) were in the high risk category (score 8-10), and 13.3% (n=4) were in the very high risk category (score ?11). The majority of workers (86.7%) required ergonomic improvements, ranging from those that needed to be done immediately to those that were very urgent.Conclusion: The working posture of informal workers in Makassar is generally classified as moderate to high ergonomic risk, indicating a significant potential for MSDs. Simple and contextual ergonomic interventions, such as improving work positions, adjusting tools, and providing education, are needed to reduce risks and improve occupational safety and health.

Abstract

Background: University employees play a crucial role in the academic landscape, which is filled with professional demands. Continuous work pressure poses a risk of affecting their psychological well-being, including overall welfare. In university environment, employees often face high workloads, tight deadlines, and high expectations from supervisors and students. The consequences can affect the quality of life of employees. Objectives: To assess the relationship between psychological fatigue, particularly work stress and feeling of fatigue, and quality of life of employees at Hasanuddin University. Methods: A cross-sectional study with an analytical observational approach was conducted from May to June 2024 at Hasanuddin University's Rectorate in Makassar. The study included 124 employees selected through simple random sampling. Primary data were collected using validated questionnaires: the Work Fatigue Feeling Measurement Tool (KAUPK2) for fatigue, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21) for work stress, and Work-Related Quality of Life (WRQoL) Scale for quality of life. Data analysis employed Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression using Jamovi software version 1.6. Results: The Spearman correlation test revealed a significant negative correlation between work stress and quality of life (ρ = -0.288, p = 0.001), indicating that increased work stress associates with reduced quality of life. Conversely, no significant correlation was found between feelings of fatigue and quality of life (ρ = -0.146, p = 0.106). Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed work stress as a significant predictor of quality of life (β = -0.22, p = 0.020), while feelings of fatigue did not demonstrate significant predictive value (β = -0.13, p = 0.184). Conclusion: Work stress significantly predicts reduced quality of life among administrative employees at Hasanuddin University, while feelings of fatigue show no significant association. These findings underscore the importance of developing targeted stress management interventions within university settings. The study's novelty lies in its focus on administrative staff in Indonesian higher education, providing foundational evidence for institutional health policies. Future research should employ longitudinal designs across multiple institutions to enhance generalizability. Keywords: University Employees; Work Stress; Feeling of Fatigue; Quality of Life
