ABSTRACT
In repetitive production tasks, the improvement of worker productivity and satisfaction is a major concern for management. Such tasks are often considered as monotonous, boring, and fatiguing, and this in turn may have a detrimental effect on worker satisfaction, job attitudes, and absenteeism. Furthermore, there may be adverse consequences on the physical and mental well-being of workers. The nature of such work often results in muscular tiredness due to stressing specific muscles and the concentration needed to perform a task. The application of suitable strategies to improve worker productivity and satisfaction, especially in repetitive industrial tasks, is therefore of the utmost importance.
