For my writing project I’m looking at the effects of over
working Americans. Are Americans over working by working 40 hours a week? And
is there a more effective work schedule for all employees across the world. I
found a source by typing random words that related to my topic and then tons of
sources just appeared for my picking; all of which were scholarly reviewed sources.
Then I scrolled down till I discovered a n article by Tibor Scitovsky titled "More Workers+Fewer Hours=Higher Productivity" This
is a good source for my topic because it is scholarly and gives my evidence to
build my argument on.
In the article Tibor looks at several companies and the
working schedules of the workers. He then breaks it down to the points that
employees that work shorter shifts are more productive and have better
attitudes while at work. There is points made that when people are happier they
are more confident and therefore enjoy doing their job, and actually do a good
job.
This source was located using A&M’s resources and
without it, discovering scholarly sources would be very difficult. Do you use
these same resources? If so, Do you find them extremely effective and easy to
use?
I think using databases to locate articles is pretty easy. I find the A&M library search pretty easy, because you can make a general search in all the databases, just in case you don't know which database to choose.
ReplyDeleteYes - the library databases are great tools that we have at our disposal. Regarding your topic, I think that there is a very clear relationship between "burnout" and overwork. I had forgotten to mention that connection in our previous conversations; however, burnout is certainly relevant to your topic.
