Tiivistelmä
The potential impact of working time reduction on well-being and productivity has been the subject of debate. The aim of this scoping literature review was to investigate the effects of workplace-level interventions and experiments in reducing working time on health, well-being at work and productivity. The results show that reduced working hours were generally associated with improved job satisfaction but also with experiences of work intensification. Reducing working hours by 20– 25% without reducing pay improved perceived sleep quality, work-life balance and reduced musculoskeletal disorders. Some trials have been able to reduce working hours without reducing productivity, but there are still very few studies focusing on sickness absence or productivity. High-quality research of the effects of reduced working hours would require a controlled follow-up study with a sufficiently large and representative sample, and the use of a wide range of measurements, including those of productivity.
