MADRID, 13 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
62% of Spaniards would take advantage of a four-day work week without loss of salary and with the same level of productivity, according to a survey on the matter carried out by InfoJobs.
For their part, 40% would refuse to work four days if that entails a reduction in salary, whether proportional to the number of hours worked or not, while 22% would consider it, although the four-day work week raises doubts.
The main reason for opting for the four-day working day is the possibility of being able to reconcile with personal life, as pointed out by 83% of those surveyed.
For 78%, those four working days would allow them to better organize with their children or with their dependents. 75% point out that they would have more motivation with a four-day week, while 64% bet on being able to work the hours agreed by contract without overtime.
Respondents give less importance to the increase in workload and less digital disconnection, with 14% and 12% of the mentions, respectively.
By age, the four-day work week has more support among workers between 35 and 44 years of age, who consider that it will have a positive impact on their motivation, according to 79% of the mentions, and productivity, for 72 %.
Among older workers, the working day does not receive the same acceptance and they show reluctance regarding the positive impact it can have on motivation, according to 64% of the responses, and digital disconnection, for 46%.
The InfoJobs survey also shows that women value the four-day week because it would allow them to reconcile more easily, according to 85% of the mentions, compared to 80% of men, and because of the family organization, with 80% of female responses, compared to 76% of male responses.
