Abstract: ALFONSO, MA. ANGELICA J. and CASTRO, ARTHUR SIMON B. Human Factors and Ergonomics Awareness Survey on Middle Management Level Personnel of Selected Manufacturing Industries In Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Ms. Mary Joyce P. Alcazar. The study determined the level of awareness of middle management personnel in selected manufacturing industries in the province of Cavite. Middle management personnel were chosen because they are the ones who are in charge in the production and in their co-workers’ welfare. Human factors and ergonomics play a crucial role in business success especially in manufacturing industries. Unfortunately, some manufacturing industries suffer from occupational injuries and illnesses resulting from ergonomically poor designed systems. The objective of this thesis was to measure the understanding about human factors and engineering of the manufacturing industries’ middle management personnel. The study also aimed to relate the middle management’s level of awareness into their demographic profile, productivity, product quality of the company, profitability, and employee engagement. The study shall provide additional information and recommendations in measuring the level of awareness of middle management personnel. Fifty-four middle management personnel from the selected manufacturing industries in the province of Cavite participated through a survey questionnaire. The survey revealed that middle management personnel’s demographic profile, particularly their position, educational attainment and years in service were some of the factors that affect middle management personnel’s awareness and knowledge on human factors and ergonomics. In general, more than half of middle managers are aware in human factors and ergonomics. In addition, awareness of middle management personnel in human factors and ergonomics is related to their satisfaction on the quality of the product made by the company.

The study determined the level of awareness of middle management personnel in selected manufacturing industries in the province of Cavite. Middle management personnel were chosen because they are the ones who are in charge in the production and in their co-workers’ welfare. Human factors and ergonomics play a crucial role in business success especially in manufacturing industries.

Unfortunately, some manufacturing industries suffer from occupational injuries and illnesses resulting from ergonomically poor designed systems.

The objective of this thesis was to measure the understanding about human factors and engineering of the manufacturing industries’ middle management personnel.

The study also aimed to relate the middle management’s level of awareness into their demographic profile, productivity, product quality of the company, profitability, and employee engagement. The study shall provide additional information and recommendations in measuring the level of awareness of middle management personnel.

Fifty-four middle management personnel from the selected manufacturing industries in the province of Cavite participated through a survey questionnaire. The survey revealed that middle management personnel’s demographic profile, particularly their position, educational attainment and years in service were some of the factors that affect middle management personnel’s awareness and knowledge on human factors and ergonomics. In general, more than half of middle managers are aware in human factors and ergonomics. In addition, awareness of middle management personnel in human factors and ergonomics is related to their satisfaction on the quality of the product made by the company.
