Would you work harder if your employer based your work-day off productivity rather than 8 hours. For example, what if you finished your work efficiently by 1:30pm then you were allowed to simply, go home. Would that encourage you to work harder?

Interesting question. To move up in your career, I would think you would just take on more work. Wthout that incentive, do most people just stop working when the work is "done" and goof off the rest of the day? I guess those people would answer yes to your question. Not sure about everybody else!

Exactly what Ron... said!!
If an employer found out everyone was completing their work 2-3 hours early he would simply fire someone and assign the work to the other employees. Thus giving everyone more work.
I worked at a company that required you to do 200 calls a day.
They found out some were averaging around 225 a day so they simply raised the quota and fired a few people. Same amount of work done but with less employees=more profit for the company.
They sure didnt give raises to the ones that beat the quota.

YES it would encourage me to work harder. At my job in the slow seaon I try to hold off on doing things so I will have something to do when I get bored. Its sad to say but if we had this option I would get done and get out of there!!!

Yes it would encourage me to work harder.
However if I can complete my work by 1:30 while the rest of the staff is there until the bitter end...somethings going to change.
Either my co-workers will hate me for making them look bad or the boss will add more to my workload and possibly get rid of someone else....which gets back to the hate me thing.

well alot of jobs require you to be there during business hours to help people with problems- maybe i am slow one day and leave at 2 then all afternoon I get phone calls for people needing this or that...they would not be happy that I went home just because I was done with my paperwork.
also your fellow coworkers will get jealous if you are leaving too early every day and it takes them longer to do their jobs.

That would never happen to me in my job, but I work hard anyways just to make the day go by faster, and I hate sitting or standing around.

may work if you want to stay in your present, obviously non-essential position now. if you had plans to actually move up into a more management type role, and more $, generally-nope. People that move ahead don't work the clock.
