Evidence of the effects of work schedules on workers’ well-being, time use, and productivity 2015 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted About half of all employees in Spain are on a daytime split work schedule, i.e. they typically work for 5 h in the morning, take a 2-hour break at lunch time, and work for another 3 h in the afternoon/evening. This paper studies the effects of split work schedule on workers’ psychological well-being, daily time use, and productivity. Using cross-sectional data from the 2002 to 2003 Spanish Time Use Survey, I find that female split-shifters experience an increased feeling of being at least sometimes overwhelmed by tasks and not having enough time to complete them. On working days, a split work schedule is positively related to time spent on the job, sleeping, and eating and drinking, and negatively associated with time spent on housework, parental child care, and leisure activities. Most of the time-use effects are similar across the sexes, and only a few of the time reductions are partly made up on days off. I also find that the split work schedule is associated with lower hourly wages. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.457 2015 ECONOMICS 265 / 344 = 0.77 2015 Q4 T3 0.413 2015 Economics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous) 2015 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 6, 2 (2015), 153-177 Series (Berlin) SERIES-JOURNAL OF THE SPANISH ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION 1869-4187 735197 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/48168/files/texto_completo.pdf Versión publicada 6259 http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/48168/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon icon Versión publicada oai:zaguan.unizar.es:48168 articulos driver 2021-01-21-10:48:41 ARTICLE
