Relation of working period to output

ABSTRACT THE production drive in Great Britain which started a month ago has led to a very great extension of working hours throughout industry. We would urge that this matter should receive

the attention of scientists for the following reasons. It is necessary that a scientific attitude should be maintained towards the relation between hours of work and productivity of factory

labour; it was established by experience during the War of 1914–18 that increased hours of work did not in all circumstances lead to greater production. Scientific workers as well as

factory hands in industry and in Government service are also being asked to work longer hours, and it is uncertain what holidays will be granted. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS
