Abstract
In a sample of 252 shift workers, autonomy was negatively related to physical fatigue and digestive troubles.
- Competence showed a negative relationship with mental fatigue.
- Relatedness was correlated with insomnia and mental fatigue but was not significant in a regression model accounting for other factors.
- Sleep medication was significant for insomnia but did not relate to fatigue or digestive issues.
- Demographic factors and work schedule variables did not show associations with fatigue, insomnia, or digestive troubles.
- Basic needs of autonomy and competence may be more influential on fatigue and digestive troubles than work arrangement variables.
