Background: Taxi drivers are at risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the long-term because of machine vibration exposure, prolonged sitting, inappropriate postures, repetitive bending, and job rotation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the prevalence of MSDs and job satisfaction in agency drivers in Lorestan, Iran.Methods: This descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study was performed on 100 agency drivers in Lorestan. Data were collected using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire (NMQ) and job satisfaction. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation, and ANCOVA in SPSS software.Findings: The Pearson correlation coefficient showed that there was no statistically significant correlation between the NMQ score and total job satisfaction score (P = 0.186, r = 0.136). Moreover, the results showed that NMQ score had a direct relationship with age (P < 0.001, r = 0.54) and work experience (P < 0.001, r = 0.58). The highest prevalence of MSDs in the previous year was reported in the waist (96%), neck (87%), knee (84%), wrist (83%), and the shoulder (81%).Conclusion: Based on the results, the incidence of MSDs and job satisfaction were, respectively, high and moderate in drivers. Therefore, to reduce the incidence of MSDs, appropriate rest and exercise during duty and ergonomic chair design based on the use of anthropometric measurements are recommended.
