A Theoretical Framework and Analytical Discussion on Uncongenial Physical Workplace Environment and Job Performance among Workers in Industrial Sectors

The Effects of Heat Stress on Job Satisfaction, Job Performance and Occupational Stress in Casting Workers

“…In such industries, environmental temperature is high so that the body cannot transfer to the its environment and in result some physiological problems are provided by the heat. Studies have shown that occupational diseases, productivity decrease and safety problems are higher in people who work in hot environments (4). Heat provides some job problems and increases the risk of accidents (5).…”

“…A number of researches have studied the psychological effects of the environment on other environment features and in some other studies the physical effects of the environment on psychological factors (8)(9)(10). Recently many studies on workplace psychology have been conducted that focused highly on the environment physical conditions and job performance (4). Occupational stress is amongst psychological problems.…”

“…A hot environment is a kind of unhealthy environment and in the recent years its psychological effects on workers have increased. Attention to the topic of work environment heat does not only emphasize on workers' health but pays attention to the individuals activity to produce high quality and quantity products and facilitate workers' job performance (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). The results of this research can present some suggestions related to improvement of environment heat condition in order to improve job performance, decrease occupational stress and increase job satisfaction.…”

Structural Model for the Effects of Perceived Indoor Work Environment on Sick Building Syndrome and Stress

“…Badayai [23] reasoned that working environment such as temperature, air and noise are stressprovoking stimuli that influence employees' psychological processes, produce negative affection, reduce motivation and social interaction. Thus, prolonged exposure to such environmental stressors would affect the stress level of the employees.…”

The interactive effect of industrial noise type, level and frequency characteristics on occupational skills

“…While noise has little effect on simple tasks, noise levels over 100 dB have been found to be harmful for continuous performance tasks (Badayai, 2012;Suter, 1991). Ehlers' (1972) study evaluated the effect of noise on a circuit board inspection task, concluding that the performance of the inspector is more affected by 90 dB than other noise intensities.…”
