Study Objective: The aim of the study was to examine cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between sleep traits and work-related pay, and performance.
Methods: We use data from adult respondents to the UK Household Longitudinal Survey, to relate sleep duration, and sleep quality to work-related pay and two presenteeism measures.
Results: We find short and long sleep durations, as well as poor quality sleep are associated with lower pay, and worse presenteeism; however, only relationships between sleep and presenteeism are robust to inclusion of additional covariates and to using longitudinal methods.
Conclusions: Suboptimal sleep traits are associated with lower work-related pay, and performance, though this relationship is considerably more robust for presenteeism.Priority should be given to policies promoting better sleep health such as flexible working hours and better shift work schedules.

Background: Many workplace illnesses are increasing exponentially because of the rapid change in climate and associated workplace heat exposure that lead to heat stress and ambulatory hypertension among workers. Fish smoking is a common livelihood among people residing along the coastal areas in developing countries who work outdoors and in extreme heat.
Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of heat stress and ambulatory hypertension among fish smokers in coastal areas of Ghana and to identify work-related factors that influence these conditions.

Direct care workers (DCWs) experience job quality challenges such as heavy workload, low pay, and few benefits. Layered risks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racism have impacted DCWs, made them more vulnerable, and increased turnover and the precarity of the long-term care system and residents' care. Drawing from qualitative interviews collected from 25 direct care workers, this study seeks to understand and describe the DCWs' experiences of trauma during COVID-19 and how these experiences affect their ability to provide care.

Archives-repositories that store, organize, and give access to historical materials-produce a constellation of affects for both the people who use them and work within them. This article, drawing on data collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 disabled archivists in Canada and the United States, focuses on how disabled archival workers experience, manage, and perform emotions while navigating work-related access and accommodation in archival institutions. The ineffectiveness of traditional systems of individual accommodation-which sometimes forced them to disclose their access needs or, alternatively, feel pressured into denying their own needs-produced complex emotional responses among participants.

Exploring the spatiotemporal dynamics of agricultural enterprise survival and its influencing factors is of great significance for understanding the development of the agricultural industry in underdeveloped areas during and after large-scale poverty alleviation initiatives. It is also an important measure to advance work related to agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. Previous studies ignore the connection between enterprise survival and space-time and pay limited attention to the survival of agribusinesses.
