Summary
The paper presents a meta-analysis of observational studies examining the impact of shift work on neurocognitive performance, finding that shift workers showed significantly worse performance in cognitive functions such as processing speed, working memory, psychomotor vigilance, cognitive control, and visual attention.
Categories
Shift work: The paper focuses on the impact of shift work on neurocognitive performance, finding that shift workers have significantly worse performance in several cognitive functions.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the impact of shift work on cognitive functions and memory, finding that shift workers have significantly worse performance in areas such as processing speed, working memory, and cognitive control.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses the impact of shift work on alertness and performance, finding that shift workers have significantly worse performance in psychomotor vigilance and visual attention.
Employee satisfaction and retention: The paper indirectly relates to employee satisfaction and retention by discussing the negative impact of shift work on cognitive performance, which could potentially affect job satisfaction and retention.
