Psychological and physiological stress reactions of male and female assembly workers: a comparison between two different forms of work organization

Article Abstract:

The responses of 36 male and 29 female assembly workers to psychological and physiological stress during and after work at a car engine factory have been examined. The study compares the traditional assembly line with fixed work stations against a more flexible work organization with small autonomous groups. Results reveal that flexible work structures produce better stress profiles among the assembly workers. This finding is more evident among the female workers.
