Objectives: The present study was conducted to assess the relationship of Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) and psychosocial stress with fatigue in manufacturing workers. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The subjects were 358 employees working in manufacturing industries with fewer than fifty persons. Data were collected through a survey using a structured selfadministered questionnaire. Findings: The degree of fatigue experienced by the subjects was significantly higher in the TABP group than in the Type B Behavior Pattern (TBBP) group, and was also significantly higher in the high-risk group of psychosocial stress. Moreover, fatigue Symptoms (MFS) had a significantly positive correlation with TABP and psychosocial stress level. TABP and psychosocial stress were major factors affecting the MFS.
