<![CDATA[Background: The ubiquitous reliance on visual display units (VDUs) across industrial administrative sectors has escalated work-related musculoskeletal disorders, positioning static postural strain as a paramount occupational health concern. However, how acute daily exposure interacts with cumulative long-term organizational tenure to drive neck pain prevalence among corporate administrative personnel remains insufficiently characterized within current epidemiological literature. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the empirical relationship between daily working duration, length of service, and the prevalence of neck pain complaints among computer-using administrative employees at PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales. Methods: Employing an analytical quantitative cross-sectional design, this study investigated 115 administrative workers at PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales in Jakarta. Data were gathered using a modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) paired with standardized occupational metrics, and subsequently evaluated through univariate distributions and bivariate Chi-Square analysis () to compute Odds Ratios (OR) and confidence parameters. Findings: The overall prevalence of reported neck pain complaints reached 43.48% (). Bivariate analysis revealed that a daily working duration exceeding 4 hours displayed no statistically significant association with neck pain (; OR = 1.1). Conversely, a length of service exceeding 5 years demonstrated a statistically significant correlation (), elevating the risk of neck pain by a factor of 2.1 compared to personnel with 5 years of tenure. Significance: These findings establish that occupational neck pain in corporate VDU environments is primarily driven by cumulative, multi-year mechanical strain rather than isolated daily working hours. Practically, these results advocate for a paradigm shift in occupational health policy from passive daily hour caps toward proactive ergonomic surveillance, mandatory micro-break schedules, and targeted physical rehabilitation programs for long-tenured personnel.]]>
