Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of safety behavior, work nutrition, and the work environment on productivity among micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) actors in Purbalingga Regency. A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied involving 73 respondents selected through incidental sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, nutritional assessments, and measurements of workplace conditions, including lighting and noise levels. Data analysis included univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (multiple regression) analyses. The results showed that most respondents demonstrated good energy intake (56.2%), safety behavior (50.7%), and implementation of 5R practices (52.1%), with 57.5% categorized as having good productivity. The majority of respondents were female (58.9%), aged 35–44 years (35.6%), and engaged in the culinary sector (47.9%). Multivariate analysis indicated that safety behavior and work nutrition significantly influenced productivity among MSME workers. In conclusion, improving occupational safety practices and ensuring adequate nutritional intake are important factors in enhancing productivity in the informal sector.
