刊登在《自然人类行为》上的一项研究发现,每周工作四天可以减少雇员的消耗,提高工作满意度,而不削减工资。 A study published in Nature Human Behaviour found that a four-day work week could reduce employee burnout and improve job satisfaction without cutting pay. 波士顿大学研究人员对6个国家的141家公司进行了研究,涉及500多名雇员。 Researchers at Boston University studied 141 companies across six countries, involving over 500 employees. 6个月后,工作时间较短的人报告身心健康情况有所改善,疲劳程度降低,生产力提高。 After six months, those working fewer hours reported better mental and physical health, lower fatigue, and improved productivity. 每周工作时间减少8小时的公司受益最大,而更小的削减则导致一些改善。 Companies that reduced weekly hours by eight saw the most significant benefits, while even smaller reductions led to some improvements. 研究报告认为,灵活的工作安排可产生类似的效益。 The study suggests that flexible work arrangements could deliver similar benefits.
