Abstract

Jakarta, as the center of national activity, faces an increasing population and motorized vehicle population, which adds to traffic safety challenges. Public transportation drivers, including Transjakarta , work shifts that can potentially lead to fatigue, particularly the night shift, which is more susceptible to circadian rhythm disruption. This study aims to analyze driver fatigue levels, compare fatigue between morning and night shifts, and examine the effect of fatigue on driving safety and the possible moderating role of shift work. The study used a quantitative approach using the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI) instrument, adapted into Indonesian, and demonstrated good validity and reliability (CVI > 0.80; Cronbach's Alpha > 0.70). The sample consisted of 223 public transportation drivers in DKI Jakarta, and analyzes were conducted using descriptive statistics, the Mann–Whitney difference test, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that sleep time was the most significant contributing factor to differences in fatigue, while differences in fatigue levels between shifts were not significant. Pearson correlations showed that fatigue dimensions, particularly sleepiness and lack of motivation, were strongly associated with decreased driving safety. Regression analysis confirmed that both dimensions were significant predictors of safety.
