Abstract

Business competitiveness requires high-quality human resources. Human resources as labor in the industry must be protected by the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) program. One important factor in increasing work productivity relates to work stress. If employees have the ability to deal with work stress, then work productivity will increase. This study aims to examine the effect of work safety and work stress on work productivity. This study uses survey method,  using questionnaire as a tool in collecting primary data. The data analysis used is Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The test results conclude that OSH and work stress have a positive and significant effect on work productivity. The effect of work safety and work stress on work productivity is 20.19% and 43.16% respectively. The results also show that employees' ability to overcome work stress has a more dominant influence than work safety.
