N2 - This study examined the relationship between nonstandard work schedules, work-to-family conflict, and health status in the USA adult population. Based on pooled data from the 2006, 2010, and 2014 General Social Survey (N = 4,108), this study found that nonstandard work schedules were associated with poor self-rated health and increased days of poor physical and mental health. Also, results from the causal mediation analysis indicated that the relationship between nonstandard work schedules and health status was significantly mediated by work-to-family conflict. These findings suggest that work-to-family conflict may be an important mechanism through which nonstandard work schedules affect workers' health status.
