The aim of this study is to quantify the impact of selected factors on seafarers satisfaction with ergonomics in the work environment. A sample of N=45 experienced seafarers were asked to complete a validated and reliable questionnaire to assess their perception of their working conditions, the application of ergonomic principles, the presence of health issues related to ergonomics, and the need for further education on this topic. A linear multiple regression analysis showed that none of the factors examined here had a statistically significant impact on seafarers’ satisfaction with ergonomics (p > 0.05). The perception of ergonomic conditions had the highest non-significant positive effect (b = 0.34, b* = 0.35, t = 1.76, p = 0.09). This study analyses the most recent stage of integration of ergonomic practices among seafarers and highlights the importance of enhancing education and raising awareness among seafarers regarding the application of ergonomic principles. The results contribute to a better understanding of ergonomic challenges in the Maritime industry, and offer initial insights that may support future improvements to the working conditions on board ships.
