Some people think that getting a higher income is better than having a lot of free time in the workplace. However, I have a different idea. First of all, when they have a proper spare time, they can increase work-efficiency. Secondly, the high salary does not guarantee success in life.
To begin with, having a proper amount of break time can have a positive influence on their work. Many workers often tired due to the repetition of the same task. Accumulation of stress negatively affects the body and mental health leading decrease of workability. For example, according to research from the University of Maryland, the people who had more free time tended to feel less amount of stress, also showed 80% of higher abilities in concentration on their work. Moreover, they had less absent because of illness.
On top of that, they can live a happy life when they enjoy a free time. Since there a lot of different values depending on the individual, earning much of money could not ensure happiness. By using free time, They can get a valuable memory without plentiful money. For instance, the free time allowed people to focus on their own interests even they had short-income. Some people enjoy a hobby, someone has interests in social interaction with their family or friends. However, if they could not have time to spend money freely, they could not satisfy own happiness even they earned a lot of income.
To sum up, allowing workers have free time help working effectively and makes happier.
In this regard, I agree with the spare time is necessary for the worker.
