Abstract:Introduction: Health and Wellbeing of employees in the work place are important concerns that should continue to receive attention in any organization. Any kind of work related stress when combined with daily life stress lead to detrimental physical and emotional outcome due to excess physical and mental demand on the human body and mind. The health of nurses is a prime concern for any organization as they are the direct caregivers to the patient and their emotional and physical stability is needed for effective patient care for maintaining their standards in relation to patient safety. Objectives:The review study was mainly aimed at understanding various kinds of occupational hazards and its consequences on the exposed nurses. Methodology:The review used descriptive cross-sectional research design using secondary sources related to occupational health hazards among nurses. Very few studies have focused on the psychological hazards of nurses. The review of articles has provided an insight on various kinds of occupational hazards that the nurses are exposed to, based on the area of work, their experiences, age, Body Mass Index, training and their own negligence. The study mainly excluded radiological hazards and return to work program and employers responsibilities in prevention of these risk and exposure.Results: Each profession has certain amount of occupational risk involved. The health care providers are the third major group who experience high number of work place injuries, as they are direct care providers. Nurses do face considerable amount of risk in varied forms including needle stick injuries, harmful exposures to chemicals and hazardous drug, back injuries, latex allergy, violence and stress. The most common injuries reported are back injury and risk of infection. Conclusion:Nurses are confronted to various kinds of occupational hazards due to their nature of work. Future interventions or a proper occupational infrastructure should be adapted by all the organizations to promote health and well-being of the staff.

Ultimately, the tool contained 9 criteria [20], from among which 4 refer to the general standards for work performance, 2 concern mental efficiency, while 3 -physical efficiency. The main criteria cover, within the general standards for work performance, the following detailed criteria: perception of changes in physical endurance, precision at work, concentration, and communication between members of the therapeutic team.…”

S u m m a r yManagers willingly use performance as the key element in the motivation of employees, evaluation of their work, as well as an important indicator in the bonus system. The measurement of performance allows not only the explanation of the cause of the occurrence of a deviation in the efficiency of nurses' work, but also facilitates the implementation of actions improving the quality of performance of occupational activities.The objective of the study was analysis of literature concerning the structure and principles of the application of instruments used for the assessment of performance of nurses. The review of literature pertaining to the tools for the evaluation of efficiency of performance of nurses showed a large number of international reports; however, there is a total lack in the Polish literature. Analysis of literature allowed the formulation of the following conclusions: in Poland, there is a lack of studies concerning the measurement of performance of nurses. The performance of nurses should be measured by the tool which enables its evaluation in a multi-aspect context, and possesses a high reliability and validity. S t r e s z c z e n i eMenedżerowie chętnie stosują wydajność jako element kluczowy w motywowaniu pracowników, ocenie ich pracy, a także jako istotny wskaźnik w systemach premiowania. Pomiar wydajności pozwala nie tylko na objaśnienie przyczyny powstania odchylenia w wydajności pracy pielęgniarek, ale także ułatwia wprowadzenie działań poprawiających jakość realizacji czynności zawodowych.Celem pracy była analiza piśmiennictwa, dotycząca struktury oraz zasad stosowania narzędzi, używanych w pomiarze wydajności pracy pielęgniarek. Przegląd piś-miennictwa dotyczącego narzędzi do oceny wydajności pracy pielęgniarek wykazał ich dużą liczbę w piśmiennictwie zagranicznym oraz zupełny brak w piśmiennictwie polskim. Analiza piśmiennictwa pozwoliła na sformułowanie nastę-pujących wniosków: w Polsce brak jest badań dotyczących pomiaru wydajności pracy pielęgniarek. Pomiar wydajności pracy należy dokonać narzędziem, które umożliwia ocenę wydajności pracy w kontekście wieloaspektowym oraz posiada wysoki współczynnik rzetelności i trafności.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis pengaruh yang diberikan shift kerja terhadap tingkat kelelahan kerja dan dampaknya terhadap kinerja pada operator produksi ARV. Shift kerja merupakan pola waktu kerja yang ditentukan perusahaan bagi pegawainya yang terbagi menjadi pagi, siang dan malam. Sistem kerja shift dilakukan untuk menjamin optimalisasi kegiatan produksi dan pelayanan terhadap konsumen. Kelelahan merupakan perasaan tidak normal, lelah, lesu, hilang kendali, dan juga perasaaan lain yang sulit untuk didefinisikan karena kelelahan merupakan perasaan yang bersifat subjektif. Metode yang digunakan penelitian ini yaitu analisis jalur. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu data sekunder berupa jadwal rotasi shift kerja dan data primer berupa kuesioner untuk mengukur tingkat kelelahan dan kinerja pegawai. Hasil uji yang dilakukan menunjukkan tidak ada pengaruh yang diberikan antara shift kerja terhadap tingkat kelelahan kerja dan dampaknya terhadap kinerja operator produksi ARV. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hasil uji F dengan nilai Fhitung lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan nilai Ftabel (1.189 < 3.34). Kata Kunci : Kelelahan, Kinerja, Shift
