The table shows results from a hierarchical multiple linear regression predicting turnover intention, in which model 1 included only shift work disorder (measured one year earlier) as a predictor, while model 2 also included the additional correlates listed in Step 2. Asterisks indicate the following p-values: *p < .05 **p < .01. The reference category for the work schedule dummy variables is “other schedules involving night work”, cf. the method section above
