Fatigue and monotony both involve disinterest in work. However, there are differences between these two in following respects:
(1) Fatigue is the stale of tiredness of the muscles, brain or nerves due to sustained activity and the person who is tired desires rest for regaining the vitality and energy. Monotony, on the other hand, does not necessarily reflect tiredness of muscle. It only indicates that the individual finds il difficulty to continue concentration on the task on account of situations or lack of interest.
(2) All individuals are not bored or feel tired and suffer from fatigue.
(3) Changing the conditions of work like permitting, taking or moving away from work bench etc. may reduce or even eliminate monotony or boredom but these may not ward off fatigue for long.
(4) Monotony can be removed by changing the nature of the job but tiredness or fatigue cannot be removed. It can only be removed by rests.
(5) Fatigue generally refers to the physical tiredness while monotony is concerned with the tiredness of mind. Tiredness does not mean disinterest in the work.
