Umfrage: Beschäftigte würden mehr arbeiten – Anreize wichtig

Düsseldorf – According to a recent survey, the majority of working individuals are willing to put in more hours at work, provided the conditions are favorable. Conducted by the Appinio Institute on behalf of job platform Indeed, the study surveyed 1,000 employees. Over half of the respondents expressed a desire to take on overtime duties, with nearly 20% willing to do so consistently. Interestingly, nearly three-quarters of those surveyed already work beyond the stipulations of their employment contracts.

However, the study found that those not interested in working longer hours cited personal life, health, lack of financial incentives, and family commitments as reasons for their preference for maintaining their current work schedules. Indeed's expert, Virginia Sondergeld, pointed out that focusing solely on increasing work hours falls short in discussions about our economic efficiency. She noted that many employees would be willing to go above and beyond if they could reap the benefits of their additional efforts.
