Shift work tolerance criteria differ by shift type, influenced by personality and mood. Understanding these factors can help match workers to optimal shift schedules for better well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • Shift work is prevalent across many industries, impacting worker health and performance.
  • Individual differences in tolerance to shift work are significant but not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify criteria for shift work tolerance.
  • To examine the relationship between personality traits/states and shift work tolerance.

Main Methods:

  • Survey administered to 89 police officers during consecutive night and rotating shifts.
  • Assessed anxiety, emotional control, affect, health, sleep, social life, and shift work perceptions.

Main Results:

  • Shift work tolerance criteria varied: night shifts (somatic health, flexibility, sleep, sleep need) vs. rotating shifts (somatic health, flexibility, fatigue).

  • Tolerance associated with anxiety, emotional style, and mood.
  • Night shift tolerance linked to anxiety; rotating shift tolerance linked to mood and fatigue.

    • Conclusions:

    • Shift work tolerance is multifaceted and context-dependent.
    • Personality and mood states are key predictors of tolerance, varying by shift type.
    • Findings suggest personalized approaches to shift schedule assignment.
