Application of the Mathematic Model to Evaluation of Worker´S Well-Being

Abstract

The article is aimed at assessing the possible negative impact of microclimate factors on work wellbeing, health and work productivity of the employees of the selected operation. In this paper, the effect of microclimate conditions such as air humidity, air flow and air temperature on workers comfort perception were studied. The research was carried out on a sample of 5 workers out of a total of 15 employees in the production hall. The aim of the research was to determine the level of influence of selected thermal parameters on the physical and mental well-being of employees. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to determine the level of perception of the impact of selected thermal parameters on the most vulnerable body parts. A mathematical model was used for a comprehensive assessment of the work environment's impact on employees. As the productivity of employees may also depend on employee satisfaction, research results can be used to improve the comfort of employees and to achieve better work performance.

“…The physical characteristics of the work environment can have a direct impact on productivity, health, safety, well-being, concentration, job satisfaction and morale of the involved people, as such aspects affect the overall ergonomics of the workplace (Danna & Griffin, 1999;Leather et al, 2003;Sarode & Shirsath, 2014;Lan et al, 2014;Castaldo et al, 2018;Bellingan et al, 2020;Pigliautile et al, 2020;Kovalev et al, 2021). Among factors that play an important role in the workplace, scholars include organization of spaces, temperature, shift timing, humidity, lighting, ventilation, noise, and air quality (e.g., Kralikova et al, 2019, Jin et al, 2016, Wijewardane & Jayasinghe, 2008Lan et al, 2010;Marqueze et al, 2015;Wargocki & Wyon, 2017;McInnes et al, 2017). The relevance of each factor depends on the context under investigation.…”
