Description

ABSTRACT
The study investigated the impact of security employee’s shift work on fatigue level. Shift work is related to negative social life and sometimes negative to health. Factors related to shift work may differ between male and female security with extensive experience shift work. Both primary and secondary data were used in gathering information for this study. Two set of questionnaires were used as survey instrument. The first one, included demographic and sociological data of individual participants, while the standardized questionnaire, Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS), was used to collect data on the subjective assessment of the fatigue level. Random sampling was used to select one hundred twenty participant from Olabisi Onabanjo University Security and Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Ago-iwoye branch. Data generated from the study were analysed using Independent t-test and ANOVA. Findings from the study showed that shift work can increase fatigue level of individuals. It is also showed that male security officers had higher fatigue level than female. The study also revealed that the perceived level of fatigue of shift workers was significantly higher for each item of the questionnaire than in non-shift workers. Among other recommendations is that less use of extended working hours and spending much time with their family may be beneficial. It is recommended that less use of extended off duty periods to allow the officers to rest.
