Abstract

Psychosocial and mental health issues at the workplace contribute to significant effects on someone's life. The employer needs to assess the potential risk and take all necessary actions to control the risk. This study strictly followed the data collection and analysis process according to the recent guidelines published by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) Malaysia, Psychosocial Risk Assessment and Management at the Workplace (PRisMA) 2024. The alarming result of job control and work demand requires specific intervention by the employer. Addressing this issue properly may increase workers' productivity and quality of life.
