This study investigates the relationship between stress levels and rework of engineering drawing tasks by using physiological signals and surveys. Managing excessive stress at the workplace is critical, as occupational stress adversely impacts the work performance as well as the work–life balance of employees. This study hypothesizes that rework can be a severe occupational stressor. This hypothesis was tested by measuring the stress responses of subjects before and after a rework order using two physiological signals, namely electrodermal activity (EDA) and electroencephalogram (EEG). In addition, a survey was conducted to serve as a supplementary measure for the relationship. It was found that the three measures consistently showed that rework was a stressor. The findings emphasize the importance of managing rework in the construction industry, which will eventually help construction managers control the stress levels of employees effectively.

本研究通过使用生理信号和调查研究应力水平与工程制图任务返工之间的关系。在工作场所应对过度的压力至关重要，因为职业压力会对工作绩效以及员工的工作与生活平衡产生不利影响。这项研究假设返工可能是严重的职业压力源。通过使用两个生理信号，即皮肤电活动（EDA）和脑电图（EEG），测量返工订单前后受试者的压力反应来检验该假设。此外，还进行了一项调查，作为对该关系的补充措施。发现这三项措施始终表明返工是一个压力源。调查结果强调了在建筑行业中管理返工的重要性，
