About the Book

Deals with the ways in which time is important in determining how people feel and behave, particularly in their place of work. The chapters describe how human physiological and psychological processes interact and examine the implication of these changes for human performance and work scheduling. The scope of the book covers task related time (vigilance), time within the day (circadian rhythms) and monthly variations (menstrual rhythms), as well as problems related to sleep, abnormal work hours, jet-lag and shiftwork. The purpose of the book is to examine how work-time can be structured or scheduled to be pleasant, productive and safe for the employee and cost-effective for the employer.
