Impact of weather conditions yield
Journal Title: Nierówności Społeczne a Wzrost Gospodarczy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 55
Abstract
Labour productivity depends on a number of factors, starting from the most obvious – wages/ salary, to work organization and to those less often taken into consideration, such as the weather. Weather affects employees’ well-being, and thus the discharge of their duties. Depending on the time of year employees may feel more or less tired and more or less eager to take on new challenges. The emerging question is – is there an accurate way to measure the impact of weather on an employee’s yield? Are all employee weather conditions affected by weather conditions equally, or are there people more (or less) vulnerable to weather? Does it depend on gender, or does weather affect the yield of work of both genders equally? To what extent, in comparison with other factors, does weather affect on yield? Is it possible to identify the weather factor that most effects on yield? To answer the above questions, the research method research used in this study was a survey carried out on the basis of a prepared questionnaire of 314 white-collar workers in the Lodz region. From the analysis of the results of the survey it can be inferred that the weather affects the performance of employees, but not for everyone equally, some are less likely others to suffer a decline in labour yield depending on weather conditions. The weather factor having the greatest negative impact on labour yield, for both men and women, is too high a temperature.
