Abstract

In a new model of work schedules, employers choose the number of working hours and either assign the specific hours worked or let workers choose their preferred hours via flextime. Workers’ preferences over schedules, and their tendencies to fatigue from long shifts, influence their productivities. An inverted-U-shaped hours-output profile arises. Flextime policies shift its peak rightward. Long hours go hand-in-hand with flextime. The employer finds flextime less appealing when wages exogenously increase. Analysis of a worker-employer matched panel of British workplaces in 2004 and 2011 reveals that flextime and other flexible work practices mitigate the productivity erosion from long hours.

工作安排

在一种新的工作时间表模式中，雇主可以选择工作时间，或者指定具体的工作时间，或者通过弹性工作时间让员工选择自己喜欢的工作时间。员工对时间表的偏好，以及他们因长时间轮班而感到疲劳的倾向，都会影响他们的工作效率。小时产出曲线出现倒u形。弹性工作时间政策使其峰值向右偏移。长时间工作与弹性工作制密切相关。当工资外部性增长时，雇主会发现弹性工作制的吸引力降低。对2004年和2011年英国工作场所的工人-雇主匹配小组的分析显示，弹性工作时间和其他灵活的工作方式减轻了长时间工作对生产力的侵蚀。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
