Abstract
INDUSTRIAL interest in the use of multiple shifts has been growing in recent years, but little is known about the effects of different shifts and shift systems on work performance. This communication discusses variations in attendance at work under a 5 day, three shift system. The investigation is part of a wider attempt to examine behavioural differences under various arrangements of working hours.
