Abstract

Analysis of broad, U.K. worker-establishment matched panel data from 2004 to 2011 reveals that working hours increase with the fraction of an establishment's workers receiving performance-based pay, if the cutoff for “long weekly hours” is from 35 to 39, but not beyond a sharp discontinuity at 40. Long hours are found to be unrelated to various workplace health problems but positively related to health-related absenteeism. Combined with complementary research on hours and productivity, the results suggest that the well-known productivity enhancements from performance pay are dampened by exhaustion-induced absenteeism stemming from additional working hours and higher per-hour work intensity.

绩效工资、工作时间和与健康有关的缺勤

对2004年至2011年英国员工与企业匹配的广泛面板数据的分析显示，如果“每周长工作时间”的截止时间从35小时增加到39小时，那么工作时间随着企业中领取绩效工资的员工比例的增加而增加，但不会超过40小时的急剧间断。研究发现，长时间工作与各种工作场所健康问题无关，但与健康相关的缺勤率呈正相关。结合对工作时间和生产率的补充研究，结果表明，众所周知，绩效工资提高了生产率，但由于额外的工作时间和更高的每小时工作强度而导致的疲惫导致的缺勤却抑制了这一点。
