Abstract
This study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the relationship between workload and fatigue dimensions, using data obtained from among Constant Velocity (CV) joints assembly workers in Mexico. Three years before this study, assembly workers had complained about how their job’s high workload had increased their levels of fatigue. The NASA-TLX and the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory ware used to collect data on the effects of workload on fatigue from 116 assembly workers. A structural equation model was used to test five hypotheses associated on the effects of workload on lack of energy, physical effort, physical discomfort, lack of motivation, and sleepiness. All relationships were significant and had associated positive load factors. As a result, the modified structural equation model showed statistical significance, as well as good mode fitness. From these results, fatigue was supported as being substantially affected by the workload.
