| Abstract |
The effects of 3 work time schedules on the social life and health of 45 male and 6 female cooks in the hotel industry in Germany were studied with the help of questionnaires. Of the participants 22 worked during the day between 6 am and 5 pm, 12 alternated between 2 shifts from 6 am to 2 pm and 2 pm to 10 pm, 17 worked from the morning to the early afternoon and in the evening with a 2 to 3 h break in between. The latter 2 groups were significantly more negative than the first group about the usefulness of their spare time to make and maintain social contacts. There was no difference between the 3 groups with regard to psychosomatic disorders. |
