Five key workplace ergonomics variables were chosen for the study and data were collected from 112 respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics provided the basis for the analysis. The findings of this study agree with the findings of earlier studies, reinforcing the opinion that there is a significant relationship between workplace ergonomics and employees’ performance.
