abstract="OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to statistically codify empirical occupational fatigue literature into a systems model depicting causal factors of fatigue; interrelationships among causal factors; outcomes of fatigue; and interrelationships among outcomes. <br><br>METHODS: The objective was achieved via a comprehensive and systematic review of existing literature and the first statistical meta-analysis of occupational fatigue. <br><br>RESULTS: The drivers of fatigue with the greatest effect sizes include sleep deprivation and work environment factors such as noise, vibration, and temperature. The most significant outcomes of fatigue include short-term cognitive and physical degradation and, to a lesser extent, error, injury, and illness. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Although there is a great deal of occupational fatigue literature, there is a dearth of replication and validations studies. Researchers are also encouraged to address knowledge gaps like the relationship between worker relationships and fatigue.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
