Data were collected by observation, filling out research questionnaires, and Nordic Body Map (NBM). The
data analysis used was the Spearman correlation.
Results: There was no relationship between working tenure with musculoskeletal grievance with a value of
p = 0.837 and there was relationship between working posture with musculoskeletal grievance with a value
of p = 0.000.
Conclusion: The working tenure didn’t have relationship with musculoskeletal grievance. The working
