Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore the relevant literatures related to Green Ergonomics Awareness and Employee Performance. This chapter begins with a review of the problem statement, hypothesis on green ergonomic awareness and employee performance. Next, a review of the literature on the variables for this study and their relationships are explored. Both the independent and dependent variables of the study are analysed to identify the dimensions and the relationship between variables. Past empirical findings of the relevant relationship will be discussed. Finally, the chapter ends with a proposed study framework and the discovery of study approach for the variables
