摘要

This investigation examined police officers' responses to a change from a forward rotating 8-hour-shift schedule to a 12-hour compressed shift schedule. As predicted, significant improvements were observed in the areas of schedule-related interference with personal activities, work-schedule attitudes, general affect, and stress and fatigue. In addition, organizational effectiveness improved, but general work attitudes remained unchanged.
