SOCIAL AND FAMILY ISSUES IN SHIFT WORK AND NON ...

This book explores the effects of shift work and non standard working hours on family and
social life. It features analysis and case studies from an international body of researchers
from Europe  the Americas and Australia. It includes contributions from Germany  the United
States  the Netherlands  Croatia  Italy  Poland  Australia  and Brazil  that fully examine this
increasingly prevalent  and global  issue. The book starts by introducing the problems of
work-family linkages  shift work and non-standard work hours. Next  it details the consequences
of specific features of shift schedules  such as decreased opportunities for social
participation  family problems and negative effects on partners and children as well as the
impact of working time arrangements on work-family conflict over time. The book then looks at
the consequences of shift work and non-standard work hours on family members and the workers
themselves  including the sleep and daytime functioning of adolescent family members and the
ways that non-standard work schedules intersect with the particular challenges and stresses of
family responsibilities and strategies that workers use to manage these challenges in sectors
where non-standard schedules are the norm. Last  the book considers the role of individual
differences in understanding problems of work-family relationships  including a consideration
of safety and health at work from the perspective of gender and an examination of the
moderating role of chronotype and circadian type characteristics on work-family conflict and
work-family facilitation among male shift workers.
