Physical job demand, psychological job demand, and social support as the factors are investigated. The hypotheses developed to examine the associations between the factors and LBP are tested based on the opinion of hospital healthcare workers in Kedah based on the three objectives of this research. To test the hypotheses, 171 responses to a self-administered questionnaire are collected. The collected data is analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM).
