Ergonomic Interventions and Digital Library Engagement: An Empirical Study of College Librarians' Perspectives

This study examines the impact of ergonomic interventions on digital engagement among college librarians, with emphasis on workplace design and organizational support (Hedge, 2016). A descriptive and empirical approach was adopted, and data were collected from 178 respondents using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire, with analysis conducted through Python-based statistical tools. The survey was conducted among librarians working in colleges affiliated with Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Maharashtra. The questionnaire was distributed to 233 college librarians, out of which 178 responses were received, resulting in a response rate of 76.39%. The findings show that ergonomic interventions significantly enhance digital engagement, supporting earlier research on technology use and workplace environment (Agarwal & Karahanna, 2000). While gender differences were not significant, professional experience influenced engagement levels. Key challenges such as lack of funding and awareness were also identified (Mukhedkar & Waikar, 2024). The study suggests improving ergonomic infrastructure and training, while future research should explore broader contexts and emerging digital practices (Waggoner et al., 2026).
