Özet:

The apparel industry is one of the areas where human labor is most intense. Due to the nature of the job, employees encounter various health problems arising from the working environment. This research was planned to determine the effects of working environment conditions on the health, fatigue and working life quality of the individual in the ready-made clothing sector, and was carried out on 400 individuals working in 10 enterprises producing ready-made clothing in Denizli OIZ. “Workplace Conditions Index”, “Checklist Individual Strength” and “Professional Quality of Life Scale” were used in the research. Work, assessment of the work environment, health, fatigue and quality of life were questioned according to the demographic characteristics of the employee. It is seen that there is no significant relationship between working conditions and fatigue (p>0.05), whereas as physical strain increases, fatigue increases (p<0.05) and professional satisfaction decreases (p<0.01). As the difficulty of the job increases, motivation and work capacity (p<0.01) decrease. Low back pain, foot-leg pain and back pain are the most common health problems among employees, depending on the level of difficulty of the job. Subjective fatigue perception increases, work capacity and motivation decrease in those with health problems. Pain is higher in women and increases with age. As the health problem increases, productivity decreases (p<0.01) and absenteeism increases (p<0.01). The correlation between working conditions and quality of working life is low (p>0.05).
