Article Abstract:
The impact of rotation and timing of shifts on work-home conflict, job attitudes, health and absenteeism among military police is studied. The results suggest that fixed non-day shifts including weekends should be avoided in order to minimize the conflict between work and home, and that rotation rosters should be designed with a high degree of individualization and flexibility.
