SHIFT WORKERS ADAPTATION STRATEGIES IN THE FAR NORTH

Abstract

Shift work in the Far North produces higher requirements for adaptive capabilities of workers. As a result of professional work in shift workers, there are formed adaptation strategies represented by four basic types. Determinants of their formation are the environmental and personal resources in the context of the adverse effects of the environment. The paper presents differences in the adaptation strategies of shift workers of diamond mining, logging and oil and gas production facilities in the Far North.
