Abstract
Monotonia is a phenomenon specific to the conveyer labor. Due to the fact that each profession can have peculiar symptoms and mechanisms of its formation, the need arises to study this state in relation to the specific labor conditions. The problem of monotonia in the sphere of hazardous chemical production still remains unexplored.
The paper covers the study of monotonia symptoms of the operators of continuous glass fiber production. Sixty-four male operators at the ages from 22 to 39 participated in the research study.
The author determined the dynamics of manifestation of monotonia symptoms of the operators of continuous glass fiber production during the day shift. Among the identified symptoms, apathy, boredom, fatigue, and drowsiness were determined. At the beginning of the working day, the operators registered cheerful mood, in the afternoon and by the end of the day, this index decreases significantly due to the augmentation of the fatigue state of various intensity. The drowsiness is observed at all stages of the work shift, and at the end of the shift, it is being fixed more often than at the beginning of the day. None of the respondents register the apathy and boredom at the beginning of the day, but they experience them very often in the middle and at the end of the day.
The results of the study can be considered when organizing the technological process of production of continuous glass fiber in order to reduce the negative impact of experiencing monotonia, and, as a consequence, to improve the efficiency of work activities. However, it should be remembered that the results are related to the day shift only. Manifestations of monotonia of operators of continuous glass fiber production will differ significantly during the night shift.
