    AbstractIn a new approach to the problem of night work and its consequences, an investigation of the relationships between shift variables, stress at work (environmental and psychosocial aspects), well-being and health, and lifestyle characteristics was carried out, taking into consideration the actual number of remunerated night shifts ('night shift dose' (NSD)). Out of the entire workforce (n = 173) of a manufacturing plant of the cement industry located in Lower Austria, a group of 31 shiftworkers, working approximately 44 night shifts per year on average was examined in detail. Between night shift dose and psychosocial stress, an important relationship was detected. Taking into account workers' well-being and health, the results suggest that psychosocial and environmental stress factors at work act independently from shift-related stress factors.
