In 1978, a national study conducted on behalf of the Department of Labor in the United States indicated that "prevailing work time conditions are at variance with the preferences of today's workers". (Best, 1979, p.2). Similar studies conducted in Australia (Bullock, 1983; Wood & Bullock, 1984; and Wood, 1985) have indicated results paralleling those found in the U.S. study. These survey findings would seem to indicate a changing attitude in the community at large towards the Standard Hours model of work (i.e. 5 day 40, 38 or 35 hour week).
