Might be a repost, but an interesting guest opinion article from 2014: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2014/06/01/opinion/sunday/why-you-hate-work.html
Juicy tidbit: With higher focus, these employees ended up getting more work done in less > time, left work earlier in the evenings than the rest of their colleagues, > and reported a much less stressful overall experience during the busy > season. Their turnover rate was far lower than that of employees in the > rest of the firm. Senior leaders were aware of the results, but the firm > didn’t ultimately change any of its practices. > Partly, the challenge for employers is trust. For example, our study found > that employees have a deep desire for flexibility about where and when they > work — and far higher engagement when they have more choice. But many > employers remain fearful that their employees won’t accomplish their work > without constant oversight — a belief that ironically feeds the distrust of > their employees, and diminishes their engagement.
