The study commenced by quantitatively measuring the mental workload of Higher Education Operators (PDPT) through the NASA Task Load Index (NASA TLX). Results indicated an even distribution of mental workload between moderate and heavy levels, each comprising 50%. NASA TLX, a standard tool for assessing mental workload, offered insights into the operators' stress levels during task execution. Subsequently, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to scrutinize factors impacting mental workload. Independent variables, encompassing completeness of data (CD), Feeder Dikti's time demands (FDTD), Internet network conditions (INC), task complexity (TC), and working period (WP), were tested against the dependent variable, the level of mental workload (LMW). This research provides a holistic understanding of factors contributing to PDPT operators' mental workload and how these factors influence the previously measured workload distribution with NASA TLX. This comprehensive insight adds context to the findings, forming a robust foundation for crafting more targeted management strategies to mitigate and manage mental workload in PDPT environments.

“…Musculoskeletal disorders of the neck and shoulders (WRMSDs-NS) are associated with the type of occupations and physical load required, such as farm work, patient care, and other occupations [2]. In this regard, neck and shoulder disorders are seen in jobs with a high static load, such as dentistry, working in visual and video terminals, sewing machine users [2,21,22], office workers [23], especially computer users [24,25].…”

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are one of greatest occupational problems in industrialized and developing countries, and whereas becoming switches to major challenge between worker and employers. The aim of present study was determination the prevalence musculoskeletal disorders among sewing machine operators of sewing workplaces in Kerman. In this cross-sectional study, 297 workers that working in 170 sewing workplaces in Kerman as research population by census method were selected. Nordic Questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were analyzed using Chi-square statistical test under SPSS 16 software. In this study 50.5 percent of subjects in the past 12 months and 34.3 percent of them in during one week before the study had experienced discomfort or pain at least in one body part. Highest frequency symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders was observed in lower back, later than the lower back, knee, upper back, neck and ankles had highest frequent. Also, in this study a significant relationship between musculoskeletal disorders of lower back, shoulder, neck and tailors work experience were obtained. Results of this study did show that workplace is the most important cause of the incidence musculoskeletal disorders in tailors under research. Therefore, the interventional programs include optimizing the design of workstations and chairs used in sewing workplace and also providing ergonomic principles training courses for improving work conditions of workers that working in sewing workplaces should be considered.

“…The JSS evaluates satisfaction Perceived workload is a crucial factor in understanding employees' subjective perceptions of the demands and pressures they experience in their work environment. It refers to individuals' subjective assessment of the quantity and intensity of tasks and responsibilities they perceive in relation to their available resources and capabilities (Kampf et al, 2016;Bartram et al, 2023;Nino et al, 2023) .…”

Job satisfaction is a highly relevant topic across all sectors of the national economy worldwide. A contented employee significantly enhances a company’s performance compared to a dissatisfied one. Simultaneously, a contented employee increases the human capital value of the company, which has a substantial impact on its overall value. However, employee satisfaction is not a static state; it can be influenced by various factors, one of which is perceived workload resulting from the nature of the job. The aim of this article is to investigate whether there is a demonstrable impact of perceived workload on employee satisfaction. This relationship is examined within the context of subway train drivers in the Czech Republic. In exploring this relationship, we also delve into the psychological factor of whether there is a connection between perceived workload and the satisfaction of subway train drivers based on their personality types according to the MBTI test. These dependencies are assessed through correlation analysis using a comprehensive dataset obtained. In the course of the research, data were collected from the entire basic sample of respondents, namely from 654 subway train drivers. The results confirmed the existing influence of perceived workload on employee satisfaction and, concurrently, the influence of perceived workload on employee satisfaction based on the personality typology determined by the MBTI test. These findings are undoubtedly beneficial for the management of transportation companies, particularly those involved in passenger transportation, specifically in the provision of subway services.
