Testing the impact of shift schedules on organizational variables
研究使用705名全职医学技师的样本，发现固定白班员工的工作内容常规化程度低于晚班、夜班和轮班员工，但轮班员工的工作态度并不比固定班次员工差。
Prior organizational shift work research has focused on studying either nurses or blue collar manufacturing employees, and been somewhat limited by shift size limitations. Using a unique sample of 705 full-time medical technologists (MTs), across distinct fixed day, evening, night and rotating shifts, this study found that day shift MTs had lower job content routinization (more task enrichment) than evening, night and rotating shift MTs. Contrary to previous research, rotating shift MTs did not have lower work attitudes than fixed shift MTs. Results are further discussed. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
