Shift Work and Work to Family Fit: Does Schedule Control Matter?

Journal of Family and Economic Issues, 2012
We used the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce to investigate the effects of shift work on individuals. We investigated if shift workers would have poorer work to family fit than workers with regular day schedules or flexible schedules. We also investigated if control of work schedule would moderate the possible negative effects of shift ...

Generating Acceptable Shift-working Schedules

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1988
When a factory operates a shift system of working, the work patterns are usually laid down at the start and adhered to for long periods. In this case study, small out-stations with frequent changes in manning require the frequent generation of new schedules.

Parents' Family Time and Work Schedules: The Split‐Shift Schedule in Spain

Journal of Marriage and Family, 2015
This study used data on couples from the 2003 Spanish Time Use Survey (N = 1,416) to analyze how work schedules are associated with family, couple, parent–child, and non‐family leisure activities. Spain is clearly an interesting case for the institutionalized split‐shift schedule, a long lunch break rooted in the traditional siesta that splits the ...

Fatigue and the Shiftworker: Firefighters Working on a Rotating Shift Schedule

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1994
Fatigue has often been viewed as a simple variable that is positively correlated with time on task in the workplace and is produced mainly by physical activity. However, shiftwork researchers have demonstrated time-of-day differences for variables including sleepiness and mood, thereby challenging this notion of fatigue. Using a within-subjects design,

Cardiovascular rhythms, their adjustment to schedule change and shift work

[1989] Proceedings. Second Annual IEEE Symposium on Computer-based Medical Systems, 2003
With illustrative chronobiologic methodology, the rules of rhythm shifting by work schedule manipulation are reviewed with reference to self-measured or ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate. The literature on the cardiovascular performance of shift workers studied with miniaturized devices or by self-measurement is reviewed and the systolic blood ...

Shift Work, Satisfaction with Work Schedule, and Well-Being: An Analysis in the Health Sector

2023
Shift work, especially if it involves night work, has been associated with several consequences for workers, not only in terms of health, but also in other spheres of life such as family life. In general, the greater difficulty of this schedule is owing to the requirement to invert the sleep-wake cycle and the need to work in periods that are highly ...

Effects of transitioning from a daytime work schedule to a shift schedule on diet and health in shift workers

2023
Increasing evidence has shown that shift work impairs health, such as a 50% increased risk of breast cancer, a 40% increased risk for obesity, and a 40% increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Over 25% of the American population is employed in a shift work schedule, consisting of irregular or overnight work hours.
