Adobe's "The Future of Time" survey reveals that the most productive work hours for employees are between 9 am and 6 pm.
Generationally, respondents from Gen X had the highest proportion selecting 9 am to 6 pm as the most productive work hours. The lowest proportion was found in Gen Z, at 62%.
Conversely, work hours between 6 pm and 3 am were considered least productive. The lowest proportion was among Baby Boomers, at 6%. However, 26% of Gen Z reported being able to work productively during this time.
The survey involved 5,500 SME owners and company owners across 7 countries (United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan). A 20-minute online survey method was used, conducted between April 30 and May 28, 2021.
In its survey, Adobe highlighted the work culture that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adobe noted that many workers experienced increasingly long working hours, leading to stress. Consequently, many prioritized personal time to maintain calm and avoid stress.
