Shift work occupies precious time for family and social life. The aim of this review was to systematically assess the state of research on the impact of shift work on work-fam-ily conflict. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed and EBSCO to identify studies published between 1990 and 2017. In the end, 36 articles met the inclusion criteria and were considered in this review. Shift workers show higher levels of work-family conflict in comparison to workers in regular day schedules. Different shift types and a large variation of shift characteristics have been studied. Results point to a higher work-family conflict especially among night shift workers and those working in a shift schedule, including weekend work. Research testing for causality is missing.

Work-family balancing (WFB), usually associated with women, is affected by scheduling, flexibility of working arrangements, organizational support, and other workplace parameters. Following a request from the women’s committee of a union confederation, we analysed retail work done on unpredictable, variable, extended schedules. Among other procedures such as workplace observations and study of company registers, we performed cluster analysis on the schedule choices of 247 male and 303 female staff.We found that: 4 clusters characterized schedule preferences; men and women were not uniformly distributed across clusters; choices varied within a gender. Diversity of choices was sufficient to allow the employer in principle to match preferences to schedules, but the employer showed little interest in WFB or gender equality. We conclude that cluster analysis lends itself to ergonomic analysis and to strategic intervention. We discuss its advantages and disadvantages for promoting workplace equality.

Dans ce mémoire, nous nous intéressons à la portée effective de la protection offerte par le droit du travail au Québec dans le contexte actuel du marché de l’emploi. Pour approfondir cette question, nous avons choisi d’explorer l’application du droit dans une industrie où les conditions de travail se révèlent bien souvent difficiles et contraignantes, voire carrément précaires. Ce mémoire traite de l’industrie de la restauration. Plus précisément, notre analyse porte sur les difficultés que pose, dans ce secteur d’activité, l’application des normes juridiques destinées à encadrer la relation employeur-salarié. Le présent ouvrage s’articule autour des facettes de l’industrie de la restauration à l’égard desquelles l’application de ces normes est susceptible de connaître des ratés, à savoir l’identification de l’employeur dans les franchises de restauration, le contrôle du salarié sur son horaire de travail, la sécurité d’emploi et l’accès à la syndicalisation. Notre étude tend à démontrer que, dans leur forme actuelle, les lois du travail accentuent l’instabilité qui caractérise les conditions auxquelles sont soumis les salariés de l’industrie de la restauration. Ce mémoire met en lumière les raisons pour lesquelles la protection dont jouissent ces salariés se révèle dans bien des cas insuffisante. Bien qu’elle se cantonne à un seul secteur d’activité économique, la présente étude s’inscrit dans un phénomène global en ce que les problèmes qui y sont abordés affectent le marché du travail dans son ensemble., This thesis focuses on the ability of Quebec labour laws to fully exert their protective role in the current context of the labour market. To explore this question in depth, we have chosen to analyze the application of the law in an industry where working conditions are often difficult and restrictive, even downright precarious, namely the restaurant industry. Specifically, this analysis focuses on the difficulties posed by the application of legal standards intended to regulate the employer-employee relationship. We look at the facets of the restaurant industry where the application of these standards is likely to fail, namely the identification of the real employer in restaurant franchises, the employee control over working hours, job security and access to unionization. This study is meant to show that, in their current form, labour laws worsen the instability that characterizes the working conditions to which employees in the restaurant industry are subjected. This thesis sheds light on the reasons why the protection enjoyed by these employees is in many cases insufficient. Although it is confined to a single sector of economic activity, this study is part of a global phenomenon in the sense that the dynamics causing the difficult working conditions in the restaurant industry affect the whole labour market.

The structure of work schedules and its effects on the work activity of health care workers in a short-term care facility were analyzed in a context of changes to the Québec health care system. The analysis revealed short patient stays and a great discontinuity in work periods for nursing personnel : 60 % of health care workers in one department worked for fewer than five shifts per month in this department. Thus, the workers often have little information on patients, and the constant changes in the work teams can affect the strategies that they use to remedy the situation. Since the “technical” aspects of the work cannot be reduced, the more “human” aspects can be compressed. Could this type of work organization diminish caring, thus depriving patients of important human contact and health care workers of their sense of the meaning of their work. Could this loss of meaning affect the absenteeism rate, which is known to be high among nurses ?

La structure des horaires et ses effets sur le travail des infirmières et infirmières auxiliaires d’un hôpital de soins de courte durée ont été analysés dans un contexte de modifications du réseau québécois de la santé. L’analyse montre de courts séjours chez les patients et une très grande discontinuité des périodes de travail chez le personnel infirmier : 60 % de celles qui travaillaient dans un département cumulent moins de cinq quarts par mois dans ce département. Ainsi, elles ont souvent peu d’information sur les patients et la constante recomposition des équipes peut affecter leurs stratégies pour pallier cette situation. Les aspects « techniques » du travail ne pouvant être escamotés, les aspects « humains » deviennent compressibles. Cette organisation du travail peut-elle diminuer le caring, privant d’une part les patients de contacts importants et entraînant d’autre part, chez les soignantes, une perte du sens de leur travail ? Est-ce que cette perte de sens aurait un effet sur le taux d’absence, très élevé dans cette population ?
