The aim of this research paper is to explain how workers in three rotational shifts balance their work and private everyday life. It is researched whether there is an appearance of conflict between work and family roles, how do shift workers spend their leisure time and how is their overall health. For this research topic, qualitative research has been conducted with the focus on the experience of the works. The data have been gathered using semi structured interviews. In total 6 people who work in alternating day shift/s with night shift have been interviewed. The results show that for the workers the work obligations take precedence over their private everyday life, meaning that workers construct their private everyday life around their work obligations. Bidirectional existence of role conflict has been confirmed. In other words, there is a work-family and family-work conflict. Workers define their leisure time as any time spent away from work obligations. They spent most of their leisure time resting, with their family and lastly friends. Social life is very important to the workers. In order to secure more active social life, workers are willing to spend less time resting or even change their shift structure if they are excluded from the community life. Lastly, the research has confirmed the negative effect of the shift work on the overall worker’s health.
