Improvement Of Work Posture In Yarn Removal Operator To Reduce Risk Of Musculoskeletal Disorders

Abstract: The highest number of industrial workers who experience Musculoskeletal Disorders is in the garment industry, which is equal to 65.2%. PT. Panen Mas Jogja is a company engaged in the garment sector. PT. Panen Mas Jogja has a production target per day of 720 products for each line. But actually, the average of product that cannot be achieved is 34.32%. Based on the assessment of work posture using REBA method, it is known that 71% of the work elements need improvement, 19% of the work elements may need improvement and 10% of the elements need to be improved immediately. The work element that has the highest risk of posture is then assessed using the NBM questionnaire. Based on the assessment, the work element of taking the product and putting the product in the yarn removal activity have the highest final score of 72. Because these work elements have the same work station, improvement will be made for the yarn removal activity.

Abstract: The main goal of this study is identifying the perceptions and experiences of Saudis with the adoption of internet banking services. While most of the available literature centers on the Western context, some studies have focused on an Eastern context. The research applied a qualitative design to investigate the phenomenon.

Constructing A Measuring Instrument For Entrepreneurial Characters In Universitas Jambi

Abstract: This study aims to perform a validity construct by using a factor analysis on the measuring instrument of entrepreneurial characters in Universitas Jambi. Students following the Program of Entrepreneur Students of Universitas Jambi were the population of this study. A random sampling was used as the sample collection technique by involving 123 students. The measuring instrument of entrepreneurial characteristics is categorized into three skill categories, namely personal skill (critical thinking, creative thinking, problem-solving, spiritual and religious scales), interpersonal skill (negotiation and communication scale), and group skill (cooperation and leadership scale). The results of this study showed that the construct validity by using the Principal Component Analysis with orthogonal rotation and varimax extraction produced several factors that were successfully extracted into each component of the scales on the measuring instrument of entrepreneurial characters. The results of the reliability test on the internal consistence with Guttman’s method showed satisfactory reliability scores on all scales with 0.700 of average reliability score. The norm of the measuring instrument used the hypothetical standard of deviation both for each component or the whole measuring instrument. The instrument has been supported by satisfactory construct validity and reliability, thus it can be used to assess the potential of entrepreneurial characters owned by students.
