OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between ergonomics, lifestyle
and job satisfaction among Sonographers in Riyadh KSA.
METHODOLOGY: Predictive Correlational Design study was carried out at Riyadh KSA. Ergonomics
were measured by administering subscale of work context derived from the Work Design Questionnaire.
Whereas, Job Stress Scale was used to measure the level of job satisfaction. Self-rated scales measured
lifestyle variables included perceived health, average sleep and frequency of exercise. Data was
collected through survey research forms.
RESULTS: Results revealed the significant relationship between ergonomics and job satisfaction
(r=0.251, p=0.002). Among lifestyle variables, perceived good health (r= 0.214, p=0.008) and sleep
(r=0.242. p=0.003) were found positively related to job satisfaction. Whereas, the strong positive correlation was found between ergonomics and frequency of physical activity (r=0.255, p=0.005). No significant
difference was found between male and female Sonographers on ergonomics and job satisfaction
except sub-variables of lifestyle.
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study contributed to evaluating the working condition of
sonographers and their job satisfaction. It was found that appropriate ergonomics can predict job
satisfaction among sonographers. Effective strategies for better utilization of work settings as well as
achieving satisfaction in work through lifestyle was discussed to enhance the performance of
sonographers.
