What do you mean, “fatigue?

Work-related fatigue has been linked with individual and organizational productivity and well-being, yet our understanding of it is limited. While self-reported fatigue is greater after a working day, a corresponding reduction in performance has not been established; findings concerning the relationship between subjective and performance measures are inconsistent. In this within-subjects experiment, self-reported fatigue was greater after than before work, but performance scores were higher. However, pre-work performance improved steadily within sessions while post-work performance decreased. Individuals reporting more subjective fatigue after than before work were more likely to show a decline in within-session performance. These results suggest complex interactions between fatigue and other variables, such as motivation, affecting performance.
