Factors Related To Work Fatigue - Literature Review
ABSTRACT
Background: Fatigue is one of the problems in the field of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) that
able to cause occupational accidents. Work fatigue is a complex problem related to decreased work
skills, work enthusiasm, and work productivity. According to BPJS Ketenagakerjaan in 2019
reagarding workplace acids, the tired worker is at more serious risk experience work accidents, 16%
reported at least experience a work accident due to fatigue.The purpose of this study is to analyze the
factors related to work fatigue and to analyze the factors that are most influential to work fatigue.
Methods: The method used in this study is literature review. Result: The results of scientific articles
showed that there were 25 studies used in 2010 until 2020. Most of the research designs used cross
sectional. There are 12 factors related to the occurrence of work fatigue including age, nutritional
status, gender, working period, noise, working climate, lighting, workload, length of work, rest time,
work shift and work stress. Conclusion: The workload is the most influential factor with the
occurrence of work fatigue.
Keywords: Work Fatigue, Factors, Determinants

Based on the results of the analysis in table 2. It can be
seen that the factors associated with the occurrence of
work fatigue include age, nutritional status, gender,
working period, noise, work climate, lighting,
workload, work time, rest time, work shift and work
stress. It can also be seen in Table 3. that the factor
that most influences the occurrence of work fatigue is
workload. Excessive workload will increase the risk of
fatigue in a person. When viewed from the data
analysis in table 3. above, of the 23 research journals
analyzed by researchers, 7 of them explained that
workload was related to the occurrence of work
fatigue.
