“…Such burden on the body can cause long-term health complications for workers and at the same time their incapacity for work, so measures should be taken to protect workers from the negative effects of the air flow. The difference between these factors is insignificant but the effect of air temperature can be considered as more severe as the effect of air flow rate [30]. In the summer months, air temperatures can be even higher, and in the absence of air conditioning and inadequate air exchange, employees are likely to feel sick.…”

The article is aimed at assessing the possible negative impact of microclimate factors on work wellbeing, health and work productivity of the employees of the selected operation. In this paper, the effect of microclimate conditions such as air humidity, air flow and air temperature on workers comfort perception were studied. The research was carried out on a sample of 5 workers out of a total of 15 employees in the production hall. The aim of the research was to determine the level of influence of selected thermal parameters on the physical and mental well-being of employees. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to determine the level of perception of the impact of selected thermal parameters on the most vulnerable body parts. A mathematical model was used for a comprehensive assessment of the work environment's impact on employees. As the productivity of employees may also depend on employee satisfaction, research results can be used to improve the comfort of employees and to achieve better work performance.

“…According to the Green Kaizen concept, the key factors for improving quality include the reduction of environmental waste at low cost (Goyaletal, 2019), the reduction of energy consumption (Androniceanuetal, 2023), the ecology of the workplace (Santosetal, 2015), and the state of environmental management (Rusko et al, 2017).…”

Due to tough competition both in national and global markets, changing consumer requirements, and ever more complex production, the introduction and maintenance of quality management systems at the enterprise level becomes mandatory. This study attempts to identify opportunities to improve the level of quality management through the introduction of the Kaizen approach in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The article aims at determining factors for continuous improvement in social, environmental, and corporate management and assessing their influence on the maturity of quality management. To achieve this objective, the authors use the research tool of a survey for evaluating the state of quality management and conducting a quantitative assessment of continuous improvement for 332 companies in Kazakhstan. To determine the relationship between ESG factors and quality management maturity, the authors apply a multiple spatial regression model. Based on the fundamentals of the Kaizen system and ESG principles, 12 variables are selected that contribute to the continuous improvement of environmental, social, and corporate management. The study results reveal three key factors that have a significant impact on the maturity of quality management by Kazakh enterprises: the use of low-waste and resource-saving technologies and equipment; the effective motivation of employees in favor of the Kaizen approach; the continuous development of personnel through life-long learning. These results can be useful to the top management of Kazakh enterprises in the continuous improvement of quality and resource distribution in terms of increasing the competitiveness of their products both in the domestic and foreign markets.

In the research literature, the work environment is often characterized by physical, chemical, biological, and cultural complex factors that affect an employee at the workplace. The work environment is part of the "man-machineenvironment" system. In this system, "man" refers to the subject in the workplace (e.g operators, decision-makers), "machine" is the general name for any object controlled by man (tools, machines, computers), and "environment" describes the specific working conditions under which man and machine interact (temperature, noise, vibration, lighting, radiation, chemicals, hazardous gases etc.). The working environment creates a wider or narrower set of factors which are affecting this system. The role of this whole system is to create optimum conditions for achieving the desired results. The three main goals to optimize are to ensure safety, high efficiency, productivity and economy of "man-machineenvironment" system. Man-machine-environment system engineering is a new developing synthesis frontier science. It analyses three factors for man, machine and environment of the system and the relationship among them to make the system become "safety, and productivity. For problem-solving in this system, the physical factors are very important and may represent a significant risk for employees. These factors affect the human senses, burden the nervous system and can negatively affect overall health and cause stress. Factors can be external (from the environment, psychological, or social situations) or internal (illness). Examination and assessment of working conditions for their impact on employees are challenging, time-consuming and it is essential to do it regularly to achieve reliable results. This paper relates by comparing the results from previous and current assessments to capture developmental tendency, identify progress or regress and subsequently decide on the next steps.
