The Effect of Work Environment on Work Productivity: Stress as a Mediator

Abstract

Introduction:One of the problems in mining is the hot working climate, noise, and long workloads which can affect work productivity.
Objectives:This study aims to analyse the influence of work climate, noice, workload and length of work on work productivity through work stress on workers at PT. AdijayaKaryaMakmur.
Methods:The study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 100 respondents selected through stratified random sampling.
Results:The results showed that mental workload significantly affected productivity (p = 0.043) and stress (p = 0.001), with stress acting as a mediator (p = 0.002), while work climate influenced stress (p = 0.025) but not productivity (p = 0.781), and noise had no significant effect on stress (p = 0.738) or productivity (p = 0.174)..
Conclusions:Work climate, physical and mental workload significantly affect work productivity both directly and through work stress as an intervening variable.
