Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a Physiological Marker of Stress Among Electronics Assembly Line Workers

The increase in the prevalence of workplace stress is closely related to adverse effects, such as reduced organizational performance, damage to overall employee performance, high employee turnover, and absences due to health problems. On the other hand, the stress response can be expressed by a chan...
