Farming is one of the occupations pursued by a group of people in Indonesia, where physical activities including manual shoveling, lifting heavy loads, repeated twisting of the body, prolonged standing and bending. This makes the agriculture sector as one of the high- risk occupations for musculoskeletal disorders due to improper or non-ergonomic work postures. This study aims to analyze the relationship between work posture and musculoskeletal complaints among horticultural farmers in Pinasungkulan village. The study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design involving 55 respondents gathered through purposive sampling. Work posture assessment was conducted using the Rapid Entire Body Asssessment (REBA) method, while musculoskeletal complaints were measured using the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire. The result indicated that majority of the respondents (80%) had REBA scores in the moderate category indicating the need for evaluation and improvement of work posture. Meanwhile, NBM scores showed that majority of the respondents (63.6%) experienced musculoskeletal complaints in the moderate category indicating that most respondents experienced pain in several parts of the body, particularly those actively used during work. Pearson correlation test showed a significant but weak relationship between work posture and musculoskeletal complaints with p= 0.042 and r=
0.276 which is under a weak relationship category. This study recommends the importance of education on ergonomic work posture and the provision of appropriate work aids to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal complaints.
