Abstract

Overtime in China is getting worse and more and more employees are re-quired to work overtime every day. Many sudden deaths and suicides have been reported as a result of the constant overtime work. However, research on overtime has not been extensively studied in China. This research has significant implications for the design of overtime mechanisms in companies. It also strongly identifies the negative effects of overtime on employ-ees. This paper will focus on the relationship between overtime and employ-ee satisfaction in Chinese companies. The research methodology is carried out using questionnaire analysis and interviews. The results show that there is an inverse relationship between the length of overtime work and satisfaction, while the older the age, the more overtime work increases. Half of the re-spondents were forced to work overtime due to unexpected hours.
