This research discusses the use and viability of the shiftwork locus of control construct alongside circadian type measures as a potential predictor of shiftwork-related outcomes. The shiftwork locus of control (SHLOC) scale, measures of circadian type and shiftwork-related outcome measures were completed by 100 shiftworkers on two occasions separated by seven months. The SHLOC scale measures shiftworkers' generalised beliefs about the levels of personal control they perceive in relation to four major functional domains commonly associated with shiftwork-related disruption. These domains include: sleep, social, health and work problems. The results of multivariate regression analysis showed the SHLOC scale to be predictive of the experience of shiftwork-related sleep and social-life problems while the circadian type measures were predictive of alertness at 7 months. The results suggest that a constellation of personality factors may be an important influence on an individual's tolerance to shiftwork.
