THE POTENTIAL MISUSE OF OVERTIME1,2
研究了加班与生产力、员工增长及工作态度的关系，发现加班多的办公室生产力更低、员工规模更大，且加班与工作满意度和薪酬满意度负相关，表明加班既无生产力也无激励作用。
This research investigates the use of overtime as it relates to productivity, staff growth, and attitudes. Data were collected from employees in 42 district offices of a Federal Agency ( N = 603). Findings show that offices using more overtime were less productive and were growing in staff size. Overtime was also negatively related to satisfaction with job and pay. Thus, overtime was neither productive nor motivational. Implications for a general policy of overtime use on a productivity rather than a need basis are discussed.
