Abstract

The human body is designed to be able to perform daily work activities. On the one hand, work is very important for progress and achievement so that achieving a productive life is one of the goals of life. Every worker has a burden as a form of responsibility. This burden can be in the form of a physical burden or a mental burden. From an ergonomic point of view, any workload received by a person must be commensurate with the physical ability to bear the burden, cognitive abilities, and human limitations. Overload will only cause worker fatigue. This study aims to determine the impact of mental workload on worker fatigue. The results of the study stated that the mental workload had an impact on the level of work fatigue in employees. The average level of work fatigue experienced by some company employees is in the low to medium category.
