The main objective of the present study was to investigate relative personal fit as theassociation between rated needs and preferences for work hours, on the one hand, and actual work hours, on the otherhand, in three groups (hospital, call-center, and police) working with periodic self-rostering. We also examined theassociation between personal fit and satisfaction with the work schedule and preference for a fixed and regular shiftschedule, respectively.
