“…The most optimum physical capacity possessed by individual is in the age of 25-30 years old and over 30 years old, physical capacity will reduce 1% per year (Tarwaka, 2014). The result of this research supported the previous research result which revealed that age has significant effect on work fatigue (Atiqoh et al, 2014;Bongakareng, Layuk, Pesak & Danial, 2019;Rahmawati & Tualeka, 2019). This research result was not in line the research conducted by Putri (2018), Saftarina et al (2018), and Yogisutanti et al, (2020) that there was no relationship between age and work fatigue (8).…”

“…The findings obtained by Saftarina et al (2018) and Putri (2018) also supported this research results as they found that job tenure had a significant relationship with working fatigue (p = 0.041). The longer job tenure obtained a positive effect as the workers get more experiences; on the other hand, it brought a negative effect as the fatigue and boredom increased (Rahmawati & Tualeka, 2019). In line with the opinion of Atiqoh et al (2014), tenure is closely related to the adaptability of a worker to work and the work environment (Rahmawati & Tualeka, 2019).…”

“…Work fatigue can be influenced by internal and external factors (Ningsih & Nilamsari, 2018). Several studies have shown that the determinants of work fatigue include internal factors (age, gender, education level, nutritional status, work stress, and disease profile) (Rahmawati & Tualeka, 2019;Setyawati, 2010;Suma' mur, 2013) and external factors (job tenure, workload, sleep quality, work variation, lighting, noise) (Atiqoh, Wahyuni, & Lestantyo, 2014;Azwar, et al, 2018;Rahmawati & Tualeka, 2019; Suma' mur, 2013) (3) .…”

“…It was known that the age, job tenure, sleep quality and workload could affect workers' fatigue. Gender does not have any effect since the workers were men, with only a few disease profile, in terms of work stress all of them stated that they does not experience it, they also still experience work variation (not monotonous), the lighting is excellent, and the noise does not bother the workers (4).…”

The factor causing work accident at the slaughterhouse is one of them, work fatigue. Work fatigue is influenced by internal and external factors, such as age, job tenure, sleep quality, and workload. This research aimed to analyze the determinant factor affecting work fatigue suffered by the workers of the slaughterhouse in Situbondo and Jember, such as age, job tenure, sleep quality, and workload. Also, an analysis was carried out to determine the main dominant factor affecting work fatigue of the slaughterhouse workers. The design of the research used analytic observational and cross-sectional research. The population consisted of 51 workers determined by using census sampling technique, in which all the population was used as the samples. The analysis techniques used were logistic regression. The result of the research revealed that there was an effect of age, job tenure, and workload on work fatigue. Meanwhile, no significant effect found in the sleep quality toward work fatigue. Age was the main dominant factor affecting work fatigue. Keywords: age; job tenure; sleep quality; workload; work fatigue

Introduction: Work-related fatigue on workers are usually caused by some factors such as individual characteristics (age, work period, nutritional status) and rest break. This research aims to analyze the correlation between individual characteristics and rest break with work-related fatigue on telecommunication network service workers. Method: This research used an observational analytic and a cross-sectional approach. The population and sample in this research were all 32 workers at I-OAN unit in a telecommunication network service company. The independent variables in this study were age, work period, nutritional status, and rest break, while the dependent variable was work-related fatigue. Data were obtained throughquestionnaires about individual characteristics (age, work period, nutritional status) and rest break filled by workers. The data were also obtained through the Industrial Fatique Research Committee (IFRC) questionnaires filled by workers. All of the data in this study were analyzed with the Spearman correlation test (α = 0.05). Results: The majority of I-OAN unit workers are in the age range of 25-29 years (46.9%), have 3-4 years of work period (56.2%), and have normal nutritional status (40.6%). For the rest break variable, there are16 workers (50%) who have <30 minutes rest break and also 16 workers (50%) who have ≥ 30 minutes rest break. Conclusion: There is a correlation between individual characteristics and rest break with work-related fatigue on telecommunication network service workers.Keywords: individual characteristics, rest break, work-related fatigue

Background: As a country with a developed industry, the majority of entrepreneurs in Indonesia use modern industrial tools to help make their work easier. However, using modern technology causes side effects, such as noise from machines that cause hearing complaints. In addition, the hot work environment causes discomfort during work, and the excessive physical workload makes workers experience health complaints. Methods: This quantitative research uses a cross-sectional study approach with a purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 60 workers from a total of 126 in a wood factory in Semarang. The research instrument is a health complaint questionnaire sheet and a noise (a sound level meter), a physical workload (an oximeter), and a heat pressure (the QUESTemp). Data was analyzed by univariate and bivariate using the chi-square test. Results: The highest noise intensity is 98.02 dB, the highest heat pressure is 33.4°C, and the majority of the physical workload felt by workers is in the medium category. The chi-square test shows a relationship between noise intensity, heat stress, and health complaints of workers in a Semarang wood factory (p<0.05). Meanwhile, physical workload has no relationship with the health complaints of workers at the Semarang wood factory (p>0.05). Conclusion: Semarang wood factory has noise intensity and heat stress exceeding the threshold value, and most workers experience moderate physical workloads. The company should direct control of workers through the use of personal protective equipment and adequate drinking water, as well as controlling physical workloads on workers with workplace stretching exercises.
