“…Seventeen studies reported the effects of work demand factors on fatigue. Among these studies, nine longitudinal/process studies investigated the length of work time, with seven focusing on train drivers (McGuffog et al, 2004 ; Darwent et al, 2008 ; Dorrian et al, 2008 ; Prakash et al, 2011 ; Cabonl et al, 2012 ; Robertson et al, 2013 ; Kazemi et al, 2016 ), and two on controllers (Popkin et al, 2001 ; Korunka et al, 2012 ). Overall, no matter whether in passenger or freight train operating companies, the train drivers working longer hours had higher fatigue scores than those working fewer hours.…”

“…Twenty-three studies investigated the effect of time into the work period and the differences between night shifts and day shifts. Among these, six were cross-sectional mail surveys (Kibblewhite, 2003 ; Ku and Smith, 2010 ; Zoer et al, 2011 ; Zimmermann et al, 2015 ; Cotrim et al, 2017 ; Fan and Smith, 2017 ), and 17 were longitudinal/process studies (Popkin et al, 2001 ; Roach et al, 2001 ; Harma et al, 2002 ; McGuffog et al, 2004 ; Dorrian et al, 2006 , 2007a , 2008 , 2011 ; Darwent et al, 2008 , 2015 ; Jay et al, 2008 ; Cabonl et al, 2012 ; Korunka et al, 2012 ; Paterson et al, 2012 ; Cebola et al, 2013 ; de Araújo Fernandes et al, 2013 ; Robertson et al, 2013 ). Most of these studies showed that night shifts result in fatigue (e.g., Dorrian et al, 2011 ), as well as sleepiness and cumulative sleep loss (Darwent et al, 2008 ; Cotrim et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Darwent et al ( 2015 ) suggested that fatigue during the shifts was mainly affected by amounts of rest and sleep before work. Korunka et al ( 2012 ), however, suggested that fatigue during the shift was not only affected by recovery during break phases before work, but also by fatigue at shift onset and perceived workload during the shift.…”

“…Generally, most of the existing research investigated fatigue in train drivers; however, train drivers are not representative of the entire train crew. In this review, 15 studies sampled different job roles in the rail industry, including railway controller, conductor, engineer, or station worker (Popkin et al, 2001 ; Roach et al, 2001 ; Harma et al, 2002 ; Sherry and Philbrick, 2004 ; Ku and Smith, 2010 ; Dorrian et al, 2011 ; Prakash et al, 2011 ; Zoer et al, 2011 ; Korunka et al, 2012 ; Paterson et al, 2012 ; Cebola et al, 2013 ; ärmä et al, 2014 ; Zimmermann et al, 2015 ; Cotrim et al, 2017 ; Fan and Smith, 2017 ; Tsao et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Three studies focused on fatigue in railway controllers (Popkin et al, 2001 ; Korunka et al, 2012 ; Cotrim et al, 2017 ), two in engineers (Roach et al, 2001 ; Cebola et al, 2013 ) and one in conductors (ärmä et al, 2014 ). The results of these studies showed a high prevalence of fatigue in these job roles during night shifts.…”

Background: Fatigue is a severe problem in the rail industry, which may jeopardize train crew's health and safety. Nonetheless, a preliminary review of all empirical evidence for train crew fatigue is still lacking. The aim of the present paper is, therefore, to provide a preliminary description of occupational fatigue in the rail industry. This paper reviews the literature with the research question examining the risk factors associated with train crew fatigue, covering both papers published in refereed journals and reports from trade organizations and regulators. It assesses the progress of research on railway fatigue, including research on the main risk factors for railway fatigue, the association between fatigue and railway incidents, and how to better manage fatigue in the railway industry.Methods: Systematic searches were performed in both science and industry databases. The searches considered studies published before August 2017. The main exclusion criterion was fatigue not being directly measured through subjective or objective methods.Results: A total of 31 studies were included in the main review. The causes of fatigue included long working hours, heavy workload, early morning or night shifts, and insufficient sleep. Poor working environment, particular job roles, and individual differences also contributed to fatigue.Conclusion: Fatigue in the rail industry includes most of the features of occupational fatigue, and it is also subject to industry-specific factors. The effect of fatigue on well-being and the fatigued population in the railway industry are still not clear. Future studies can consider associations between occupational risk factors and perceived fatigue by examining the prevalence of fatigue and identifying the potential risk factors in staff within the railway industry.

Recovery from job stress: The stressor-detachment model as an integrative framework

2014

SummaryThis paper reviews empirical evidence on psychological detachment from work during nonwork time. Psychological detachment as a core recovery experience refers to refraining from job-related activities and thoughts during nonwork time; it implies to mentally disengage from one's job while being away from work. Using the stressor-detachment model as an organizing framework, we describe findings from between-person and withinperson studies, relying on cross-sectional, longitudinal, and daily-diary designs. Overall, research shows that job stressors, particularly workload, predict low levels of psychological detachment. A lack of detachment in turn predicts high strain levels and poor individual well-being (e.g., burnout and lower life satisfaction). Psychological detachment seems to be both a mediator and a moderator in the relationship between job stressors on the one hand and strain and poor well-being on the other hand. We propose possible extensions of the stressor-detachment model by suggesting moderator variables grounded in the transactional stress model. We further discuss avenues for future research and offer practical implications.

SummaryWork recovery reflects the replenishment of personal resources depleted by working, which has implications for employee health and wellness. However, work scheduling factors have received very limited attention in the recovery literature, despite that recovery is a dynamic process widely recognized to be influenced by contextual factors that define and influence the work role. After first conducting a narrative review of whether and how work scheduling factors are accounted for in existing theories of work recovery, we conduct a systematic review of existing work recovery research to identify any past empirical consideration of work scheduling factors in the recovery research base. We then harness the results of this systematic review to develop a taxonomy of work scheduling and related contextual factors that may be relevant to the process of recovery from work. We discuss the theoretical, practical, and methodological implications that emerged from our narrative and systematic reviews, providing guidance for how this newly developed taxonomy can be applied to understanding the implications of scheduling dynamics for work recovery across a range of different work contexts.
