Abstract

Abstract Background: Excessive and continuous workload can cause physical and mental fatigue. Fatigue is a physical and mental condition that results in a decrease in a person's performance and endurance at work. Fatigue can cause reduced motivation to work because it has an impact on a person's psychological condition, and can even make a person stop working because they are unable to continue their duties. Factors such as lack of rest, poor health, and high workload can lead to burnout at work. Purpose: To determine the factors related to work fatigue in production workers. Method: Descriptive quantitative research with a cross sectional approach to identify factors related to work fatigue. The population in this study were all production workers at the Batik X Company. The independent variables in this research are length of service, gender, and work climate, while the dependent variable is work fatigue. The instruments used were questionnaire sheets and air measuring instruments, while data analysis used univariate and bivariate chi-square tests. Results: There were 15 (83.3%) workers who had worked <5 years with mild levels of fatigue, while 75 (86.4%) respondents who had worked ≥ 5 years experienced moderate levels of fatigue. A total of 35 (53.1%) male workers experienced moderate level of fatigue, while 31 (46.9%) female workers experienced mild fatigue. Workers with a work climate that did not comply with NAB experienced moderate fatigue as many as 34 (52.5%) respondents, while workers with an appropriate work climate experienced moderate fatigue as many as 32 (48.5%) respondents. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between length of service, gender, and work climate with work fatigue as shown by the results of the statistical test p-value = 0.000 (< 0.05). Suggestion: Workers must understand the limits of their abilities or body condition in carrying out daily work activities and get into the habit of stretching their muscles between working hours so that blood circulation remains stable, while companies should conduct regular work climate surveys to identify problems that occur.
