Companies that often block access to internet sites for its employees may be given a "shot in the foot." A study by the University of Melbourne, Australia, suggests that employees who spend some time surfing the Web have higher productivity than those that do not. "People who use the Internet for fun at work within a 'limited responsibility' of up to 20% of their time in office, is about 9% more productive than those that do not," says Professor Brent Coker, the Department of Management and Marketing of the university.
The professor's argument is that people give a sort of "reward" to finish a task, how to give a espiadinha on blogs or websites of relationships, to "rearrange" their minds. And, in doing so will be more concentrated for the next task. "If we do not give a chance to take a break from these activities, our concentration slip," says Coker. The caveat is on account of people considered "addicted" in the global network of computers - for them, the more Internet, less productivity.
"My opinion is that 9% more productivity is very low for up to 20% of working time spent on the internet", disagrees Christian Barbosa, director of Triad Consulting, a company specializing in time management and productivity, and author of the book The triad of Time.
He says the teacher Coker has tried for more details about the study, especially because this would be one of the first studies to indicate that people become more productive to "waste time" on the Internet. "A search of the MIT [the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA], which is to be published and it shows precisely the opposite," says Barbosa. "The Internet is a sneaky way to make us lose out, because there is much interactivity." And the officials were asked to self, he says, is like asking "for a child to control a candy shop."
Multitasking
Barbosa says that there are many ongoing research trying to assess the ability that people have to perform several tasks simultaneously. It is what allows an employee to write reports while listening to music, read blogs and instant messaging programs USA.
"Most research says that the human being is' monotarefa '. We do many, but is concentrated in a single truth. The issue is that the concept of 'multitasking' make people lose time for nothing. You are doing a lot of things at the same time, the end of the day you realize that, in fact, did nothing. "
