Effects of overtime on well-being : a meta-analytic review
The trend of overtime work has been increasing since the past two decades. The objective of this meta-analysis paper was to investigate the effect of overtime on well-being. A total of 20 eligible studies (N = 100,566) were identified and utilized in the analyses. The meta-analysis results indicate...
