| description | "Outlines contemporary trends, developments and effects with regard to different aspects of working time, such as hours of work and work schedules. Examines the impact of modern working time arrangements on workers' health, well-being and workplace safety. Argues that while long daily hours tend to be associated with acute effects of fatigue, long weekly hours tend to be associated both with acute effects of fatigue as well as chronic fatigue, generating long-term negative health effects. Looks at newer forms of working time arrangements such as flexi-time arrangements, and concludes that providing employees with flexibility and control over their working time is associated with positive outcomes on workers' health and wellbeing, as well as positive organisational outcomes.
