Abstrakt

Działania z zakresu bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy (BHP) odgrywają kluczową rolę w poprawie wydajności pracy operatorów maszyn, szczególnie w sektorze odzieżowym. Celem niniejszego badania jest wyjaśnienie wpływu działań BHP na wydajność pracy operatorów maszyn w wybranej małej firmie odzieżowej w dystrykcie Galle w Sri Lance. Problem badawczy, jaki porusza artykuł, brzmi: „Czy działania z zakresu bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy wpływają na wydajność pracy operatorów maszyn w wybranej małej firmie odzieżowej w dystrykcie Galle w Sri Lance?”. Opracowano sześć hipotez badawczych, a kwestionariusze rozdano 162 operatorom maszyn w ramach metody spisu powszechnego. Dane pierwotne zebrano za pomocą kwestionariusza zawierającego 41 stwierdzeń ocenianych według pięciopunktowej skali Likerta, a następnie przeanalizowano je za pomocą analizy regresji w programie SPSS 23. Wyniki wykazały, że działania w ramach BHP mają istotny wpływ na wydajność pracy operatorów maszyn w badanej firmie. Na podstawie analizy regresji stwierdzono, że 65,5% całkowitej zmienności wydajności pracy można wyjaśnić działaniami BHP, a wszystkie hipotezy zostały przyjęte. Badanie potwierdza, że działania z zakresu BHP odgrywają kluczową rolę w poprawie wydajności pracy operatorów maszyn, dostarczając wartościowych wskazówek dla kadry zarządzającej w zakresie rozumienia i priorytetyzacji działań z obszaru BHP.
