Workers' Perceptions of the Four-Day Week

Workers' evaluative attitudes toward the four-day-week work schedule reflect their desires for increased leisure and perceptions of the effect of the four-forty schedule upon leisure. Personal and family characteristics, job characteristics, and job satisfaction are unrelated to attitudes toward the four-forty schedule. Favorable attitudes toward the fourday week are expressed by workers who view leisure in a days-per-week context and unfavorable attitudes are expressed by workers who view leisure in an hours-per-day context.
