Abstract
The objective of the study is to explore worker effectiveness with changes in noise and temperature indoors. The experiment is carried out in the south-western part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thirty-three Saudi young male subjects were used as sample. Three groups of 11 participants in each group were exposed to controlled environmental conditions of four different temperatures and three noise levels, and time of completion of task recorded to perform an assembly. It is found that the optimal temperature and noise level for the simulated study on the subjects is 18°C and 45 dBA respectively. The results indicate that the performance of an indoor worker in Saudi Arabia is affected by the change of temperature and noise level.
