| Abstract |
Workers' perceptions of the extent to which leisure activities were hindered or facilitated by shift work were evaluated for a group of 82 workers who all began work at the same time. Data were collected by questionnaire and interview immediately after hiring, 4 months later, and after 2.5 years. Time-flexible activities were rated as less hindered than inflexible ones. The relative number of hindered activities did not increase during the study period. The group of 16 workers who had left the job during the study reported a greater number of hindered activities, in relation to the facilitated ones, than those who stayed on the job. |
