“…A tendency for an association between long work hours and inadequate work ability among males may be inferred, based on their higher OR's compared to females for both professional work hours and total work load. Several studies refer to the negative impact of long professional work hours on health (e.g., Van der Hulst, 2003) so it is plausible that WAI could reflect the effects of prolonged exposure to excessive work hours.…”

A gender approach to work ability and its relationship to professional and domestic work hours among nursing personnel

et al. 2008

The association between working hours and work ability was examined in a cross sectional study of male (N=156) and female (N=1092) nurses in three public hospitals. Working hours were considered in terms of their professional and domestic hours per week and their combined impact; total work load. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between total work load and inadequate work ability index (WAI) for females only. Females reported a higher proportion of inadequate WAI, fewer professional work hours but longer domestic work hours. There were no significant differences in total work load by gender. The combination of professional and domestic work hours in females seemed to best explain their lower work ability. The findings suggest that investigations into female well-being need to consider their total work load. Our male sample may have lacked sufficient power to detect a relationship between working hours and work ability.

“…The aforementioned control variables were chosen because they have been shown to be associated with both evaluations of ethical culture (e.g., Huhtala et al, 2011) and occupational well-being (e.g., van der Hulst, 2003;Warr, 1992).…”

“…Eleven of these (6 of the 7 studies summarised by van der Hulst, 2003;Albertsen et al, 2004;Mizoue et al, 2006;Lallukka et al, 2008;Taris et al, 2011;Macy et al, 2013) found no clear relationship between long working hours and smoking behaviour. All of these studies were based on between-person analysis.…”

“…A systematic review of this research was conducted by van der Hulst (2003) who identified seven studies. Six of these were based on small samples from a single occupation or organisation, while the one study with a much larger sample size (N=3917) was of a single occupation (nurses).…”

Research highlightsWithin-person analysis of the working time-smoking relationship.Analysis based on two nationally representative panel surveys.Longer working hours associated with reduced odds of quitting smoking.Former smokers who work long hours more likely to relapse.Increases in hours also associated with increased cigarette consumption. AbstractCigarette smoking is a risk factor in a range of serious diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke and type II diabetes. Theory suggests that working long hours will increase smoking propensities among workers. Consequently there is a significant body of evidence on the relationship between working time and smoking. Results, however, are inconsistent and therefore inconclusive. This paper provides new evidence on how working time affects smoking behaviour using nationally representative panel data from Australia (from 2002 to 2011) and the United Kingdom (from 1992 to 2011). We exploit the panel design of the surveys to look at within-person changes in smoking behaviour over time as working time changes. In contrast to most previous studies, this means we control for time invariant aspects of personality and genetic inheritance that may affect both smoking propensities and choice of working hours. We find that working long hours tends to increase the chances that former smokers will relapse, reduce the chances that smokers will quit and increase cigarette consumption among regular smokers, and that these effects tend to become more pronounced for workers who usually work very long hours (50 or more hours a week) compared to those who work moderately long hours (40-49 hours a week).
