Sleepy workers costing a million
員工上班犯困 日本蒙受上億損失
[ 2006-07-12 08:47 ]

Japan's corporate warriors aren't getting enough sleep -- and it's costing the country billions.

In the country that gave the world the word "karoshi," or death from overwork, drowsy employees turning up late, taking days off or struggling to stay awake on the job are causing economic losses of some $30 billion a year, according to a survey.

"The idea is to raise awareness of the problem," said Makoto Uchiyama, professor and chairman of the department of neuropsychiatry at Nihon University School of Medicine, who conducted the survey.

"Not everyone who is sleepy at work is lazy. It's hard to tell your boss that you are sleepy, but ignoring the problem can lead to losses in the long run."

Japanese routinely work long hours, as much from cultural constraints on leaving before colleagues as from volume of work. Suited salarymen napping, often standing up, are a common sight on crowded commuter trains.

The survey questioned some 3,075 workers at a chemical company on their sleeping and working habits.

Some 37 percent of respondents said they had problems sleeping. They said their efficiency at work was reduced by about 40 percent and reported a high frequency of accidents, lateness and absenteeism.

Uchiyama said other countries may be in a similar situation.

"It may be thought that this is a Japanese problem. But it's not, it's global."

日本的公司職員睡眠不足,這給日本造成了上十億的經(jīng)濟損失。

“過勞死”一詞來源于日本,即工作過度引起的死亡。據(jù)調(diào)查,昏昏欲睡的員工上班遲到、請假或工作時強打精神,給日本造成的經(jīng)濟損失達到一年約300億美元。

日本醫(yī)科大學(xué)神經(jīng)精神醫(yī)學(xué)院的主任真由中山教授做了此項調(diào)查,他說:“做這個調(diào)查的目的就是為了增強人們對這個問題的意識。”

“并不是每個上班犯困的人都是懶散的。跟老板說你想睡覺有點開不了口,但是,忽視這個問題會造成長期損失?!?

日本人的日常工作時間很長,這和不倡導(dǎo)先于同事下班的文化約束以及工作量大有關(guān)。西裝革履的上班族在擁擠的上下班列車上站著睡覺在日本十分常見。

調(diào)查圍繞睡眠和工作習(xí)慣對一家化學(xué)制品公司的約3075名工人進行了訪問。

約37%的調(diào)查對象說,他們存在睡眠問題。他們說,他們的工作效率下降了40%,而且意外事故、遲到和礦工的發(fā)生頻率也很高。

中山教授說,其他國家可能也存在類似的問題。

“也許大家認(rèn)為這只是日本的問題。其實不是,這是個全世界的問題。”
