Abstract

This paper presents the development of a Macro-ergonomic Compatibility Questionnaire (MCQ), which focuses on collecting data about the implementation of macro-ergonomic principles which are related to human capital factors, organization, tasks, tools, technology as well as environmental conditions in manufacturing systems. The MCQ includes 3 sections: demographic data, application of macro-ergonomic principles and their importance. The questions are created according to the literature review, which are designed to be answered in ordinal scale. The MCQ validation is performed by a factorial analysis and experts’ opinion. This instrument was administered to 188 manufacturing systems’ employees and 6 ergonomics experts. The employees’ results showed that only 8 of the 23 variables analyzed presented a value of Cronbach's alpha
