Abstract

The worker fatigue models which consist of two variables of physical fatigue and nervous fatigue are suitable tools for the managers of companies in predicting the dangers due to fatigue in the work environment. These two variables are again divided into several independent variables which affect the whole model. This research aims to identify the variables which have an effect on the nervous fatigue of the workforce and tries to find which factors impact the workers. The procedure followed in this research is to investigate the previous studies and collect a relatively comprehensive amount of data for easy access to the required information for the future researchers in the field of nervous fatigue. The results of the analysis show that nervous fatigue is one of the effective variables in the performance of the workforce. By increasing their knowledge on the variables affecting the nervous fatigue, the managers of the production and service companies can make the necessary arrangements to control and reduce the dangers due to nervous fatigue in the work environment. Therefore, this research project will help them to improve the performance of their workforce and hence promote workforce productivity.

Key words: Nervous fatigue, workforce productivity, environment, management.
