There are individual differences in shift work tolerance; however, we lack knowledge about how this is experienced across different occupations, sex and shift types.
The aim was to describe and investigate shift work tolerance, and individual differences in shift work tolerance, in two occupations, between men and women and between day/evening workers and rotating shift workers.
Cross-sectional questionnaire study. The sample was comprised of 315 retail workers and 410 police employees.
Shift work tolerance was higher among police employees compared to retail workers, among men compared to women, and among day workers compared to evening/rotating shift workers. The difference was larger between occupations than between sex and shift type. Evening workers had more symptoms of shift work intolerance than rotating shift workers. Neuroticism and autonomy were related to all symptoms of shift work tolerance among retail workers, but not police employees.
It is important to consider the type of occupation and the work context when tailoring work arrangements to the individual.
轮班工作耐受性存在个体差异;然而,我们并不了解在不同职业、性别和轮班类型中,这种差异是如何体现的。
描述和调查两个职业群体、男性与女性之间以及日班/晚班工作者与轮班工作者之间的轮班工作耐受性及个体差异。
横断面问卷调查研究。样本包括315名零售业员工和410名警察。
与零售业员工相比,警察的轮班工作耐受性更高;男性比女性高;日班工作者比晚班/轮班工作者高。职业间的差异比性别和轮班类型间的差异更大。晚班工作者比轮班工作者有更多轮班工作不耐受症状。神经质和自主性与零售业员工的所有轮班工作耐受性症状有关,但与警察无关。
在根据个体情况调整工作安排时,考虑职业类型和工作环境很重要。
