Nonstandard Work Schedules, Family, and Relationship Quality Presented: Atlanta, GA, American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, August 2003. Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: American Sociological Association Keyword(s): Marital Satisfaction/Quality; Marital Stability; Parenthood; Part-Time Work; Shift Workers; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study uses data from the NLSY79 to examine the influence of nonstandard work hours on relationship quality for a sample of 1,016 dual-earner couples with children. Across a variety of outcomes, when one spouse or partner works a nonstandard shift, this is associated with a higher frequency of arguing and lower levels of positive interaction with their partner, compared to couples that both work day shifts. Analyses also consider the influences of more and younger children on the effect of nonstandard schedules, married vs cohabiting relationships, and relationship duration. |
