We used the 2008 National Study of the Changing Workforce to investigate the effects of shift work on individuals. We investigated if shift workers would have poorer work to family fit than workers with regular day schedules or flexible schedules. We also investigated if control of work schedule would moderate the possible negative effects of shift work. Results indicate that shift work is associated with increased work to family conflict, especially for women. In addition, the results indicate that women have greater work to family conflict compared to men when workers have more work schedule control. Implications of the findings are discussed.

The American scene provides a capsule of the profile of Englishes in the world. Appreciating and understanding it is therefore essential to dispel the linguistic ethnocentrism which we have noticed in the profession and in several studies (see, e.g., Prator 1968; also, for a response, see Kachru 1976). Despite this limitation, this book can be read with profit by students, teachers, and applied linguists. The absence of an index is a minor irritant.
