Abstract

This study was designed to examine the physical and psychosocial well-being of shift workers in compare to day workers of three Ferro alloy industries in Orissa. The shift work may have many physiological, psychological, and social effects on a shift worker. The primary reason that these problems occur is due to the disruption of the normal sleep-wake cycle. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of shift work related problems on attitude, aptitude, and job satisfaction of shift workers in comparison to the day workers. A total of 260 workers in three Ferro-Alloy industries of Orissa working in rotating shift systems with a normal day shift participated in this study. The findings indicated that the shift work has major adverse impact on psychological, social, family, and conjugal life of a shift worker in comparison to a day worker.
