Ergonomic Design and Employee Productivity of 3-Star Hotels in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State

Research Article Multidisciplinary

Abstract

The study investigated the empirical relationship between ergonomic design and employee productivity of 3-star hotels in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, focusing on the connection between the dimensions of ergonomic design and the measures of employee productivity. The cross-sectional survey design was therefore adopted for the study. The study population is thus 100 managerial staff from the 25 hotels. Since all the hotels as well as the managers are accessible, the study used the total population, thereby, making the population a census population. Questionnaire was used as the primary instrument for data collection. Descriptive statistical techniques such as mean and percentages were adopted to scrutinize the distribution of collected data. Testing of the study hypotheses was done using Pearson’s Product Moment correlations (PPMC). From the inferential analysis, the results showed that all two dimensions of ergonomic design such as space design and cognitive alignment, were found to have a positive relationship with the measures of employee productivity, which include waste minimization, timeliness and task accomplishment. The study therefore concludes that there is a significant and positive relationship between ergonomic design and the measures of employee productivity of 3-star hotels in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. It was recommended that management of 3-star hotels should invest in spatial planning that promotes efficiency and reduces clutter, as this directly minimizes waste and improves employee workflow.
