Abstract |
In order to function well in daily work, a person needs an adequate stimulation of the central nervous system. Too much stimulation can lead to mental stress or psychological fatigue. This information note explains the causes and symptoms (exhaustion, irritability, general mental instability) of psychological fatigue and the consequences it can have on work performance (difficulties in taking decisions, the quality of work goes down, irrationality, difficulties with the coordination between the eye and the hands). It also gives some recommendations concerning how the problem should be solved. |
