Productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of production. Most Indian bosses are obsessed with more working hours, but the paradox is the more working hours you have the less productive you become. The Relationship Between Hours Worked and Productivity https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs181/projects/crunchmode/econ-hours-productivity.html According to data provided by Ohio University, the average worker is productive for two hours and 53 minutes out of an 8-hour workday. https://onlinemasters.ohio.edu/blog/benefits-of-a-shorter-work-week/ But its not only about productivity but its also about income.
