Job satisfaction, perceived effort and heart rate in light industrial work

Abstract

The present study was an attempt to assess job satisfaction, perceived effort and heart rate and find out the relationships between these three variables in a field study conducted in a cigar factory, and 40 female workers were chosen for it. The mean heart rate of the satisfied subjects was significantly lower than that of the dissatisfied subjects. There was a significant correlation between job satisfaction and heart rate but the correlation between perceived effort and heart rate was not significant.
