A new study from Families and Work Institute finds that nearly one-third of US employees often or very often feel overworked or overwhelmed by how much work they have to do, and 70% report that they often dream about doing something different from their current job. The study, supported by PricewaterhouseCoopers, probes how technology affects the feeling of being overworked, and finds employees who feel overworked are more likely to feel angry or resentful at work, and to look for a new job.
The study explores the use of technology during non-work hours, employees not using their vacation time, and how downsizing and hiring difficulties contribute to feeling overworked.
