Reading Stomp at work may improve productivity
-
While most offices frown upon surfing the Internet for fun while at work, a study by researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have concluded that such behaviour could actually increase productivity. STOMPer loafer shares this discovery.
In the study conducted by researcher Don J.Q. Chen and his colleague, they discovered that employees who browse the web for fun end up being more engaged at work.
In their experiment, they established three groups who were performing the same work task.
After a while, the first group was given a break away from the computer; the second was told to go bundle sticks, and the third was allowed to fool around on the internet.
When they returned to work, the latter group was significantly more productive than the other two.
Chen says the web surfing provided the workers with "an instantaneous recovery." "When you're stressed at work and feel frustrated, go cyberloaf. Go on the net. After your break, you come back to work refreshed."
STOMPer loafer writes:
"According to a report by researchers from our National University of Singapore, their experiments show that office workers who spend time on the Internet are more productive.
"This is a very useful report that I can show my boss the next time I'm caught reading Stomp in the office instead of working!" -
I gurantee you productivity is alot higher if computers had no access to the net during office hours.
