Introduction. The development of human resources begins even before birth, by focusing on the well-being of expectant mothers, and continues throughout various life stages: infancy, toddlerhood, preschool and school years, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Aim. The aim of this research is to examine and assess the effectiveness of a specific type of health massage in enhancing work productivity among individuals with physical disabilities. This productivity encompasses motivation, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and independence. Method. This study employed a quasi-experimental research method utilizing a one-group time series design (pretest-posttest). The initial observation (pretest) was conducted followed by the posttest observation. The treatment group underwent a massage therapy targeting work productivity factors in people with physical disabilities, encompassing five influential elements: (1) motivation, (2) knowledge, (3) skills, (4) attitudes, and (5) independence. The research sample was drawn from the existing population using a non-random purposive sampling technique. Data collection involved assessments and measurements, with a questionnaire serving as the testing tool for measuring work productivity. Data analysis entailed analysis of variance. Results. The research findings reveal a significant disparity between the initial and final variables, with a significance value (two-tailed) of less than 0.05, as determined by paired t-tests. However, the ANOVA test yielded a significance value of 0.267. This implies a significant impact of the health massage treatment on work productivity variables—motivation, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and independence—for individuals with physical disabilities. Conclusion. The most substantial and effective increase in work productivity was observed in the motivation variable, with a percentage increase of 16.75%.
