Family is considered to be the smallest unit of life, on human life, and an
institution whose effect continues from the birth to the end of life. The
family is born from the culture of its own society and the main influencing
factors in shaping the family are the social and cultural aspects. The factors
that are effective in re-shaping the family institution are, the changes of
the principles that are effective and dominant in the general structure of
society, the changes in the economy and political life and the changes in
the religious and moral culture. Industrial society system has led to
spacious and profound changes in the general life of the society. Changes
in general work and life conditions have influenced the family negatively in
fulfilling its functions as required for modern conditions.
The basic functions of the family can be considered biological, economic,
love, protection, socialization, religion, education and the family as a
function of evaluation of leisure time. With the process of industrialization,
families are shrinking from traditional /extended family to core family. For
this reason, some functions of families are transferred to other institutions
(careers, nursery, kindergarten, etc.), but, for children, none of them can
provide psychological satisfaction by his parents.
In 2010, in Family Values Survey in Turkey related to what matters are very
important in people life, the family is in the first place with 99.3% rate. This
result reveals that the family is indispensable in Turkish society. In another
study held in 2010 by using Family Assessment Scale, it is determined that
as the number of members icrease, the power of the family weakens in
fulfilling the functions and the most problematic function of the family is
found to be not showing interest to each other. At the beginning of
functions, hindered due to the increased number of individuals, behavior
control and communication functions come. Technological progress in the first half of the twentieth century has
developed production-enhancing and efficiency rising methods to solve
the needs of modern society. This situation has caused to the discovery of
the new systems in terms of better use of natural resources and human
power. At the result of the specified developments, non-classical and nonstandard
working systems in general and particularly shift working system
have taken place. The shift working system, applied due to some
economic, social and socio-political reasons, brings problems such as
redundancy in work accidents, the disruption of body's circadian rhythm,
degradation of workers' health, needs are not provided full and on time,
disruption of family scheme and disconnection of social environment
relations.
When related literature is reviewed, the studies that the effects of shift
working system on employee health status, sleeping patterns, eating
habits were conducted are observed. The objective of this study is to
analyze the effects of shift working system on the employees' family and
social life. Due to the fact that employee has different roles in business,
family and social life; this study, will create the idea of employee in whole
system approach on the scientific studies on this issue in the future and in
business & family policies, decision-making and applications, and will shed
light on finding solutions on improvement of employee's present
problems.

shift working employees in the textile industry , and 10 shift working
