Just wondering if a study has ever been done on this topic.
If all places of work (public and private sector) were to ban the use of the internet for personal/entertainment use during working hours, would productivity increase and hence help to improve our economic outlook?
Is the consensus that office-workers are dossers and no matter what steps are take to improve "productivity" they will always revert to their old unproductive ways?
A company should have an internet usage policy, I don't know any that allow it for "entertainment" use.
Would banning personal internet at work increase productivity?
So maybe the problem is the nature of the work these people do - drudgery, routine, repetitive, with no intrinsic rewards, merely extrinsic ones. If I enjoy my work, why do I need a distraction from it, unless its to relieve the boredom of the work itself?... if the net wasn't there there would be something else people can find to waste time on. It comes down to the individual, are they a good worker or are they a dosser.
It would be nice if there were some automatic facility that worked out the frequency of posts during working hours from those who claim to be under huge pressures at work, working huge hours per week, and automatically corrected their misleading claims.
