“…The symptoms of jetlag include fatigue, loss of appetite, decreased abilities to concentrate and maintain motivation to perform tasks, and increased irritability. The jetlag symptoms tend to have a direct impact on the performance of aircrews (Yen et al, 2009), thus; H1: Jetlag symptoms have a negative relationship with job satisfaction of flight attendants.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper develops and tests a comprehensive model for job satisfaction amongst flight attendants with antecedents and outcomes that are germane in the context of airlines. The antecedents are: jetlag, role overload, emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and depersonalization, and the outcomes are; job performance and service recovery performance. A framework was tested using structural equation modelling. A survey was conducted of flight attendants working in Malaysia found exhaustion and personal accomplishment have a direct effect on job satisfaction; emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment affect the level of depersonalization; and role overload has a positive relationship.

“…Both Yen et al (2005Yen et al ( , 2009) and Liou et al (2008) found that work environment has a bearing on the fatigue level of research subjects. Barker and Nussbaum (2011) studied mental and physical fatigue among registered nurses and found that work environment variables were strongly associated with perceived levels of fatigue.…”

“…H1 Sleeping quality (e.g., hard to fall asleep/wake up) of the night before duty positively affect physical fatigue (PF) and mental fatigue (MF), before and after shifts. For example, Yen et al (2005Yen et al ( , 2009) investigated pilot fatigue with various flight distances and found that fatigue level was influenced by various factors such as quality of sleep and age of pilots. The influence of sleeping quality on fatigue has also been indicated in research related to other transport modes as discussed in the previous section.…”

Vessel traffic controllers work around the clock in order to fulfil the needs of international shipping traffic in each harbour. Due to their special work arrangement, shift work could have serious consequences on their health. Fatigue is one of them and could affect the outcome of the controller's work. For management to better schedule the controller's tasks, factors that have a bearing on the controller's fatigue need to be investigated. A structural equation model was carried out to conduct a path analysis. The relationship among physical fatigue (PF) and mental fatigue (MF), before and after work shifts, was then identified. The results show that sleeping quality has direct influences on the controller's fatigue before duty, either PF or MF. In addition, PF after shifts is influenced by sleeping quality, working environment, workload, PF before shifts, and MF after shifts. The MF after shifts is mainly affected by sleeping quality, workload and MF before shifts. The results indicate that workload and sleeping quality bear strong relations to the causes of fatigue. These findings are useful for management to reduce the level of controllers' fatigue and to improve harbour safety.
