When are you most likely to cheat?

A new study, produced by Christopher Barnes of Virginia Tech. University and published in the Harvard Business Review, suggests that individuals who have their sleep reduced by thirty minutes or more a night are more likely to cheat on work related issues.

The study was conducted with a control group and a sleep deprived set. The study asked volunteers to report their scores on different tests they were given. The higher test scores were rewarded a larger monetary prize than the lower ones. The incentive to cheat was there, but the number of individuals who actually fudged their numbers to increase their financial advantage was much higher from the sleep-deprived set.

The study defends a theory that managers who push their employees to work overtime may be doing their company a disservice.

The best thing you could do for your staff is to help them keep their working hours to an eight-hour day. Showing them more effective ways to work is much more productive than having them work increased hours.

If it is imperative you push them, why not offer a new mattress as a perk at the end of the month. They deserve it.
