女性工作效率更高 男性更易分心大綱

Women employees work harder and longer than men do, according to a new study by independent research consultancy the Ponemon Institute.

Among the subjects that took part in trials across the US, females consistently worked for a longer period of time during a ten-minute experiment than their male colleagues.

Researchers also discovered that men are even less productive when women are around.

The experiment was originally intended to observe the effect of 3M privacy filters - thin panels that fit onto a monitor, allowing only the user to view their computer screen - on productivity in the workplace.

But the study ended up revealing that with or without a privacy filter, women are more productive than men in the workplace.

Of the 274 subjects, who all worked in financial services, consumer products, education, health care and energy, approximately 53 percent of the subjects were female, and 47 percent were male.

When working with a privacy filter, females worked 4.9 minutes during a ten-minute experimental trial, while men worked 4.3 minutes.

And even without a privacy filter, females worked 2.5 minutes during ten minutes, while male subjects worked for just 2.1 minutes in the same amount of time.

Not only do women work longer, but they also apparently work harder than their male counterparts.

When subjects were given the opportunity to walk away during an experimental waiting period, just 38 percent of women left their desk, while 52 percent of men did.

Moreover, men were found to be less productive if a woman was around.

When the researcher and subject were both male, the average time worked was 3.6 minutes. When they were both female, productivity rose to four minutes.

But with a female researcher and a male subject, the time worked dropped to just 2.8 minutes.獨立研究諮詢機構波耐蒙研究所的一項新研究稱，女職員工作比男職員更努力，工作時間也更長。

美國各地參與試驗的人當中，女性在長達10分鐘的試驗中工作的時間始終比男同事要長。

研究人員還發現，當週圍有女性時，男性的工作效率會變得更低。

該試驗的初衷是爲了觀察3M隱私過濾器對於提高辦公室工作效率的效果。隱私過濾器是安裝在監視器中的一個薄板，讓其他人無法看到職員的電腦屏幕——除了用戶本人。

然而，研究結果揭示，不管有沒有隱私過濾器，女性在工作場所的工作效率都比男性更高。

參與試驗的274個人工作的領域覆蓋了金融服務業、消費品行業、教育業、醫療保健業和能源產業，其中約有53%爲女性，47%爲男性。

在安裝上隱私過濾器時，女性在10分鐘的試驗裏工作時間爲4.9分鐘，而男性工作時間爲4.3分鐘。

即使沒有隱私過濾器，女性在10分鐘試驗裏工作時間也有2.5分鐘，而男性工作時間僅爲2.1分鐘。

女性不僅工作時間更長，而且她們工作顯然比男性更努力。

在試驗等待期，試驗對象有機會走開一會兒，只有38%的女性離開辦公桌，而有52%的男性離開了辦公桌。

此外，研究發現，如果周邊有女性，男性的工作效率更低。

如果研究人員和試驗對象都是男性，試驗對象的平均工作時間爲3.6分鐘。如果都是女性，工作時間將會增至4分鐘。

但是當研究人員爲女性、試驗對象爲男性時，工作時間會降到只有2.8分鐘。
