Abstract
Job satisfaction perceived effort and heart rate were assessed and the relationships between these 3 variables were studied in a cigar factory using 40 female workers. The mean heart rate of the satisfied subjects was significantly lower than that of dissatisfied subjects. There was a significant correlation between job satisfaction and heart rate but the correlation between perceived effort and heart rate was not significant.Keywords
