Abstract: (2728 Views)
Background: An important factor in preventing industrial accidents includes the ability of employees to have awareness of the work situation, understand the information from it, and predict how situations will develop. In this study, we examined the role of fatigue and work-related stress in predicting work situation awareness among workers.
Methods: The current study was a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 180 employees in the National Petrochemical Company in 2022 year that was selected according to the stratified random sampling method and responded to questionnaires about demographic characteristics, work situation awareness, work stress, and fatigue. The data were analyzed by correlation techniques and stepwise regression.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant internal correlation between research variables. Also, the results of stepwise regression analysis revealed that fatigue and work stress significantly predicted, respectively, almost 11% and 16% of variances in work situation awareness among workers.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, fatigue and work-related stress can predict work situation awareness. Therefore, considering these variables can be significant in promoting work situation awareness among workers.
