Human Performance in Continuous/Sustained Operations and the Demands of Extended Work/Rest Schedules. An Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

The performance of workers under conditions of sustained or continuous work is a particularly important topic to the military services. Available research data on the topic are scattered throughout diverse printed sources, many of which are difficult to locate. This annotated bibliography lists 399 references containing research data, conceptual position papers and different methodological approaches to studying human performance in continuous/sustained operations and extended work/rest schedules. The time frame covered in the references is from 1940 to 1985.
