The prevalence and consequences of punitive time and attendance policies in the food and retail industries
Work time control and flexibility are beneficial for workers, but many low-income, hourly workers face rigid expectations to be available for all scheduled shifts without modification.

Structural Equation Model of Emotional Labor, Work–Home Interaction, and Well-Being
Social work best practices encourage empathy. However, empathy may both prevent and contribute to negative effects of work on worker well-being through emotional labor and spillover into home life. Theory and research suggest that work–family interaction (WFI) may mediate the relationship between emotional labor and worker well-being. The current work examines this framework using structural equation modeling. Authors hypothesized emotional labor…

Specifically, it focuses on how youths’ perceptions of …
