Overtime work as a predictor of major depressive episode a 5 year follow up of the whitehall ii study
PLOS ONE, 2012Co-Authors: Marianna Virtanen, Jane E Ferrie, Stephen Stansfeld, Rebecca Fuhrer, Mika KivimakiAbstract:Background The association between Overtime work and depression is still unclear. This study examined the association between Overtime work and the onset of a major depressive episode (MDE). Methodology/Principal Findings Prospective cohort study with a baseline examination of working hours, psychological morbidity (an indicator of baseline depression) and depression risk factors in 1991–1993 and a follow-up of major depressive episode in 1997–1999 (mean follow-up 5.8 years) among British civil servants (the Whitehall II study; 1626 men, 497 women, mean age 47 years at baseline). Onset of 12-month MDE was assessed by the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) at follow-up. In prospective analysis of participants with no psychological morbidity at baseline, the odds ratio for a subsequent major depressive episode was 2.43 (95% confidence interval 1.11 to 5.30) times higher for those working 11+ hours a day compared to employees working 7–8 hours a day, when adjusted for socio-demographic factors at baseline. Further adjustment for chronic physical disease, smoking, alcohol use, job strain and work-related social support had little effect on this association (odds ratio 2.52; 95% confidence interval 1.12 to 5.65). Conclusions/Significance Data from middle-aged civil servants suggest that working long hours of Overtime may predispose to major depressive episodes.

Overtime work and incident coronary heart disease the whitehall ii prospective cohort study
European Heart Journal, 2010Co-Authors: Marianna Virtanen, Jane E Ferrie, Archana Singhmanoux, Martin J Shipley, Jussi Vahtera, Michael Marmot, Mika KivimakiAbstract:To examine the association between Overtime work and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) among middle-aged employees.Six thousand and fourteen British civil servants (4262 men and 1752 women), aged 39-61 years who were free from CHD and worked full time at baseline (1991-1994), were followed until 2002-2004, an average of 11 years. The outcome measure was incident fatal CHD, clinically verified incident non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), or definite angina (a total of 369 events). Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics showed that 3-4 h Overtime work per day was associated with 1.60-fold (95% CI 1.15-2.23) increased risk of incident CHD compared with employees with no Overtime work. Adjustment for all 21 cardiovascular risk factors measured made little difference to these estimates (HR 1.56, 95% CI 1.11-2.19). This association was replicated in multivariate analysis with only fatal cardiovascular disease and incident non-fatal MI as the outcome (HR 1.67, 95% CI 1.02-2.76).Overtime work is related to increased risk of incident CHD independently of conventional risk factors. These findings suggest that Overtime work adversely affects coronary health.

investigating the associations among Overtime work health behaviors and health a longitudinal study among full time employees
International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2011Co-Authors: Debby G J Beckers, Toon W Taris, Sabine A E Geurts, J F Ybema, M W Verheijden, Michiel A J KompierAbstract:Background It has often been suggested that high levels of Overtime lead to adverse health outcomes. One mechanism that may account for this association is that working Overtime leads to elevated levels of stress, which could affect worker’s behavioral decisions or habits (such as smoking and lack of physical activity). In turn, this could lead to adverse health.

One mechanism that may account for this association is that working Overtime leads to elevated levels of stress, which could affect worker's behavioral decisions or habits (such as smoking and lack of physical activity). In turn, this could lead to adverse health. The present study examined this reasoning in a prospective longitudinal design. Data from the prospective 2-year Study on Health at Work (N = 649) were used to test our hypotheses. Structural equation analysis was used to examine the relationships among Overtime, beneficial (exercising, intake of fruit and vegetables) and risky (smoking and drinking) health behaviors, and health indicators (BMI and subjective health). Working Overtime was longitudinally related with adverse subjective health, but not with body mass. Moreover, working Overtime was associated with lower levels of physical activity and intake of fruit and vegetables, but not with smoking and drinking. Finally, higher levels of risky and lower levels of beneficial health behaviors were longitudinally associated with ill health. The relation between Overtime and ill health is partly accounted for by the unhealthy lifestyle in which overworkers tend to engage. However, a direct longitudinal effect of Overtime on health suggested that the effects of Overtime on health may also partly be due to the sustained physiological activation that results from working Overtime. Whereas working a moderate amount of Overtime does not usually entail major health risks, these will increase with increasing Overtime.

voluntary or involuntary control over Overtime and rewards for Overtime in relation to fatigue and work satisfaction
Work & Stress, 2008Co-Authors: Debby G J Beckers, Dimitri Van Der Linden, P G W Smulders, Michiel A J Kompier, Toon W Taris, Sabine A E GeurtsAbstract:This study aims to examine whether the relationship between Overtime and well-being is influenced by the voluntary vs. involuntary (i.e., compulsory) nature of Overtime work and by the presence or absence of rewards for Overtime. We also explored the prevalence of these types of Overtime and how they were related to work and personal characteristics. A survey was conducted among a representative sample of Dutch full-time employees (N=1612). AN(C)OVA was used to compare rewarded and unrewarded, voluntary and involuntary Overtime workers on personal and work characteristics, fatigue, and work satisfaction. Most Overtime workers were rewarded (62%). About half of the sample (n=814) could be classified as either voluntary or involuntary Overtime workers, or as having "mixed reasons" to work Overtime. Voluntary and unrewarded Overtime workers had a relatively high income and favourable job characteristics. Involuntary Overtime work was associated with relatively high fatigue and low satisfaction, especially for involuntary Overtime workers without rewards who can be considered a burnout risk group. Voluntary Overtime workers were non-fatigued and satisfied, even without rewards. It can be concluded that control over Overtime and rewards for Overtime are important for well-being. Moderate Overtime work may not be a problem if it is done voluntarily. Moreover, the negative effects of compulsory Overtime work may be partly offset by fair compensation for the extra work.

associations between Overtime and psychological health in high and low reward jobs
Work & Stress, 2001Co-Authors: Monique Van Der Hulst, Sabine A E GeurtsAbstract:This study focused on the relationship between Overtime and psychological health in high and low reward jobs, and in jobs with high and low external pressure to work Overtime. Data were collected for 535 full-time employees of the Dutch Postal Service. In general, Overtime was associated with negative work-home interference and negative home-work interference. Split-sample logistic regression analyses showed that employees reporting low rewards had elevated risks of burnout, negative work-home interference and slow recovery. In addition, the combination of Overtime and low rewards was associated with negative home-work interference. A second analysis was conducted separately for employees who reported Overtime in order to study the effects of external pressure to work Overtime. In this subgroup, low rewards were associated with elevated risks of health complaints, emotional exhaustion and negative home-work interference. Moreover, employees who reported Overtime and a high pressure to work Overtime in com...
