Abstract:
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has long been in a relationship with ergonomics, as a user is expected to have a suitable environment to display a good user experience. This study aimed to identify how organizational or employers' ergonomic values and culture influence employees’ choice of organization to work for. A survey questionnaire, containing 30 items with a Likert Scale (Strongly disagree -1 and 5 for strongly agree) was adopted. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed and a sample of 250 full-time employees from various companies was used. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive means and correlation via SPSS.21. Results show that a significant dependent relationship exists between employee values and the organization’s ergonomic values (r=0.947; p<0.01), and between employee’s values and mean congruence between values (r=0.829; p<0.01). No significant relationship was found between organizational values and mean congruence between values (r=0.096; p>0.05). The findings in this study may provide direction on how organizations should adopt a better ergonomic design approach for mutual benefits with present and prospective employees.
