Therefore, the study addressed the critical issue of ergonomics, workplace compliance and associated negative impacts among administrative staff in Zamfara State. Administrative staff spend significant portions of their day in office settings and the significance of&nbsp;assessing if ergonomic practices are adhered to is of paramount importance to guarantee their wellbeing, comfort, and productivity in any&nbsp;workplace including those in Zamfara State. The population of the study comprised all the administrative staff in government institutions in Zamfara State and 80 respondents were randomly selected from two tertiary institutions which were purposively selected. Three research questions guided the study. A case study design was adopted and a set of structured questionnaire on a five point likert scale was used to collect data. The data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that equipment provided for workers do not meet up with ergonomic best practices and compliance and that this may have negative implication on their health. Based on the findings, it was concluded that ergonomic best practice, compliance and provision of standard equipment is necessary for a safe and healthy workforce. It was therefore, recommended that ergonomic guidelines should be followed by management of the institutions in order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the workers for their maximum productivity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Keywords: Ergonomics, practice, and workplace.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ijeti.uniben.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/INTERNATIONAL-JOURNAL-OF-ENTREPRENEURSHIP-IJETI-VOL.1-NO.2-OCTOBER-2024_102024-164-172.pdf\">Download Article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ifeoma Joy Nwachukwu 1 &nbsp;&amp; Dr. Abubakar Muhammad Magaji2 1Department of Office Technology and Management, Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, Nigeria 2Department of Business Administration, Federal Polytechnic, Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, Nigeria Correspondence Email:joy2ifeoma@gmail.com Abstract&nbsp;&nbsp; Ensuring the productivity and&nbsp;well-being of workers have become increasingly paramount in workplace.
