Productivity and Working Hours Within Teams of Knowledge Workers
研究日本建筑设计师团队数据，发现五人团队中最高贡献者投入超60%工时；2008年金融危机后团队生产率平均提升8.9%，其中59.7%归因于工时重新分配。
ABSTRACT Modern workplaces extensively use teams of white‐collar knowledge workers to complete complex projects. Data on architects designing construction projects in a Japanese firm reveal that a five‐person team's highest contributor invests over 60% of the team's working hours. Following the financial crisis of 2008, the average team productivity increased by 8.9%, while hours became more concentrated within teams. A theoretical model of team productivity is used to explain the changes. The counterfactual exercise finds that 40.3% of the team productivity increase is attributed to an increase in individual worker productivity, and 59.7% of the increase is due to hours reallocation.
