A recent paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research claims that a 37-hour workweek is the most efficient for employee productivity, derived from German data on working hours. The research highlights a significant mismatch between the hours employees work and their preferred hours, with many feeling overworked. It suggests a cultural divide with Europeans favoring fewer hours, while Americans often desire more. This evolution comes amidst a global shift in work culture post-pandemic, with many companies exploring flexible and four-day workweek options.
According to a working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research, the optimal workweek is determined to be 37 hours, based on extensive data analysis.
This paper emphasizes the need to move beyond the conventional nine-to-five model, suggesting that flexibility in working hours could enhance employee productivity and satisfaction.
