    abstract = {Self-awareness of worker’s own health status had been proven can prevent work-related harm and
injury and also mental health problems. Both mental and physical health improvements (physical and
psychosocial factors) should be the main focused in any research. Workload and work-related stress are the
examples of psychosocial factors that may exist in each organization. A case study related to safety and health
was conducted among staff at Human Resources Management Division (HRMD) at a public higher education
institution (Institut Pengajian Tinggi Awam-IPTA) in Malaysia. Total numbers of 22 staff were employed.
However, only 21 staffs were participated in this study which contributed to about 95% of the response rate.
A set of self-administered questionnaires which consist of questions on socio demographics information,
questions on working hour, questions on workload and also questions on work-related stress were used as the
study instruments. Result shows that office workers in HRMD, work in long hours in a week to keep up with
workload. The availability of supplies, equipment and materials to do the work however, helps the workers to
manage their works in a proper way. The relationship of inter-staff also found in a good condition. This study
will be useful for other researcher to conduct a psychosocial study among office workers in a bigger sample
size. This finding also can be as a guidance to manage workload and work-related stress in workplace.}
