The Subtle Art of Effecting a Four-day Workweek to Drive Performance

Abstract

Organizations have long been experimenting with shortened workweeks. This study investigates the finer points that can make a four-day workweek efficacious. Though studies have revealed that the four-day workweek delivers well on productivity goals, extant literature has not yet examined the details of how to bring about a transformational change in employee performance as a result of the change. The current study empirically explores different nuanced factors that can translate a strategic vision into an achievable tactical plan, one that hones the skills and learning of employees. The present study takes into consideration psychological well-being as a possible moderator. A sample of 604 employees was taken from the service and manufacturing companies in India. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has been used to analyse the inter relationships among the variables. The findings revealed that the following factors had a significant effect on the performance of employees practising the four-day workweek: ‘strategic planning at work’, ‘viewing the company as a brand’, ‘continually connecting’ and ‘inspiring happiness at work’. The various implications of this study are discussed in depth in light of these findings.

Cellular conversation can be quickly distributed even considering social time [10].We want to protect some parts of Singapore to build a cellular mobile communication system. The entire region is classified into 3 types of land, suburban, urban and rural [11].The probability distribution of channel retention time in cell communication structures is determined using the cell residence time distribution under typical flow conditions.…”
