SHIFT WORK RELATED TO JOB ATTITUDES, SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AND WITHDRAWAL BEHAVIOR: A STUDY OF NURSES AND INDUSTRIAL WORKERS1
研究了两家医院440名护士和一家制造企业383名工人，发现固定班次员工在心理健康、工作满意度、组织承诺和社会参与方面优于轮班员工，且离职意向、缺勤和迟到更少。
The present study investigates the relationship between shift schedules and mental health, job satisfaction, social participation, organizational commitment, anticipated turnover, absenteeism and tardiness among nurses ( N =440) in two hospitals and among rank‐and‐file workers ( N =383) in a manufacturing organization. Results are generally supportive of the model which projected that workers on fixed work schedules (high routine‐oriented) would be better off than workers on rotating work schedules (low routine‐oriented) in terms of mental health, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and social participation. In addition, workers on fixed shift schedules are found to be lower on anticipated turnover, absenteeism and tardiness than workers on rotating shift schedules. Six potential moderators: age, marital status, place of socialization, cultural background, seniority and respondent's sex, were measured and their association with these relationships analyzed. Results are discussed in the light of the previous empirical evidence.
