Chapter 14 in From Stress to Wellbeing Volume 1, 2013, pp 292-314 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Mann (1965) suggested over 30 years ago that ‘hours of work have long been recognized as having a marked effect on the way an individual and his family lives’. Research investigating the relationship between work hours and health, produced findings which raised concern about the impact of long work hours on an individual’s well-being. Buell & Breslow (1960), for example, found a higher incidence of coronary heart disease in men who worked over 48 hours per week.
