Work hours or working hours

Hi,

Shall I say "work hours" or "working hours"?

Context:

"They found no statistically significant relationship between work hours and any of the dimensions of burnout. The reason might be because all participants in the study worked the same number of work hours and didn't work overtime.


Thanks!

Both are correct. Use work-hours, with a hyphen.

gillyflowerworked the same number of work hours

There's no need to repeat 'work' after 'worked'.
