Sažetak
Work family conflict exists when strain and time required from work roles make it difficult to fulfill requirements of family roles. Interference of work with their home life is found to be stonger in shift workers than in workers with standard schedules. Many studies have supported the premise that increased work-family conflict in shift workers can lead to increased health concerns and problems. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of work-family conflict and shift work on the mental health of nurses. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data regarding the perception of 174 nurses. As a result of poorer work-family fit, shift workers reported poorer mental health than workers with standard schedules. Shift work directly influenced work-family conflict, but it had no direct influence on mental health. However, work-family conflict was significantly associated with a worker’s mental health and job satisfaction.
