Regression Analysis In Determining The Influence Of Relative Humidity Towards Workers' Performance

Ergonomics has traditionally been used to improve the workers' performance by discovering the factors that contribute to their performance. Many organizations are forced to consider effects of environmental factors towards their workers� performance in terms of safety and efficiency. The obj...
