Abstract

This article aims to predict the weariness experienced by Universitas Negeri Medan employees working from home owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study recruited 33 participants with the same workload. The Swedish occupational fatigue inventory (SOFI) scale was utilized to evaluate and predict fatigue. For reported mental and physical fatigue symptoms, severity of fatigue may be a viable mechanistic concept. Physical exertion (1.47), physical discomfort (1.20), lack of energy (1.95), lack of motivation (1.02), and tiredness were measured in this study (1.19). Thus, the five SOFI-dimensions accounted for more than half of the variance in the total evaluation of fatigue, and their internal consistency was satisfactory. However, the scores were on the lower end of the spectrum, and the correlation between the dimensions was greater than anticipated.
