Is working overtime bad for you? Some interesting evidence from Higher education.

This article mentioned in the Times Higher last week had the headline Do some overtime (but not too much)

It is based on this article:

Fontinha, R., Easton, S., & Van Laar, D. (2019) ‘Overtime and quality of working life in academics and nonacademics: The role of perceived work-life balance.’ International Journal of Stress Management, 26(2), 173-183

which used a sample of 1,474 academic and 1,953 non-academic staff working for 9 higher education institutions.  Key factors were the amount of perceived control over work and levels of job satisfaction. There is an open-access version of the article here.
