Abstract

Considers the unclear role of gender and health with respect to working time autonomy. Questions whether there are comparable positive effects for both men and women. Or does gender moderate the relationship between working time autonomy, job and life satisfaction and irritation/straing? Uses one from a sample of 418 female and male nurses from four general hospitals in Germany to analyse this question. Employs a hierarchical regression model to confirm that gender and working time autonomy do interact. Confirms that, whilst there is no difference for equal working time autonomy, we find that male nurses profit from high working time autonomy much more than women with respect to job and life satisfaction and irritation/strain.
