Abstract

This paper investigates the attitudes of a sample of engineers, medical technologists and primary school teachers regarding the perceived effects that job sharing may have upon: (a) the working conditions of these professionals; (b) the supply and demand of labour to these professions; (c) the administration of these professionals; and (d) the social relationships and interactions of these professionals. The findings strongly support the introduction of job sharing into these professions as an overall benefit-cost ratio of 6:1 was obtained. The results of this study are then compared against a number of other recent Australian studies in this area.
