Abstract

The physical and social work environment determines employees' health, well-being, and job satisfaction. The present study uses artificial neural network analysis to evaluate the impact of physical hazards and physical activity demands on these health-related outcomes. The results show that improving hazardous working conditions and reducing physical strain would significantly improve workers' health, well-being, and job satisfaction. The study highlights the importance of preventing physical workplace risks, such as noise exposure and harmful environmental factors, to achieve better employee outcomes. Overall, the research supports the premise that improving the physical work environment may lead to greater employee satisfaction and well-being—findings that have significant implications for organizational policies.
