launchD runs script every hour in between 8:00 to 17:00 hours on weekdays Mon to Fri.

8 to 17:00 = 9 times in a Day. Mon - Friday = 5 days
Do I have to add StartCalendarInterval 9 X 5 = 45 times or is there any other easy sensible way to it?

<key>StartCalendarInterval</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>Weekday</key>
            <integer>1</integer>
            <key>Hour</key>
            <integer>08</integer>
            <key>Minute</key>
            <integer>00</integer>  
        </dict>
    </array>

Sorry if qus make you confuse. I just want to run a script every hour in between 8AM to 5PM on weekdays Mon to Fri.

Yes, you have to. You could also run it everyday and have the script itself check if it's a weekend and exit gracefully. – Allan Nov 09 '18 at 14:57
