PT.X and PT.Y are two companies that is located at Taman district, Sidoarjo Regency in East Java and engaged in the beverage manufacturing and plastic manufacturing industries respectively. As many as 109 respondents were select- ed using simple random sampling method. Data collection techniques was done by using questionnaires to find out individual factors, work, and psychological factors (work stress) and direct measurement of the work environment (measurement of temperature and noise). Work stress was measured using Job Stress Survey (JSS) by Vagg and Spiel- berger. Temperature measured using Thermal Environment Monitor, while noise was measured using Sound Level Meter device. Correlation analysis in this study was using contingency coefficient method. The results shows that a total of 63.3% (69 respondents out of total 109) of female workers experienced reproductive health problems. The result of the correlation test showed that the independent variable of parity numbers, work stress, work environment temperature, and work shift has significant effect on reproductive health (p-value < 0.05). This can be seen from the probability value (p-value) of the correlation test. The p-value for parity number variable is 0.000, work stress is 0.000, temperature is 0.044 and work shift is 0.006. The contingency coefficient test sindicate that parity number, workshift, work station temperature, and work stress are asignificant contributor on reproductive health disorders, in this case menstrual disorders and pregnancy disorders in female workers. Therefore it is important for the company to address the issues of work shift arrangement,heat exposure and stress management in the work environment.
