Can Overtime Really Boost Productivity? A Mathematical Model Reveals the Truth

Using a mathematical model that splits daily output into regular work, overtime, and associated costs, this article shows that while modest overtime can marginally increase productivity, excessive overtime leads to rapidly declining efficiency and rising health, turnover, and creativity costs, ultimately reducing total output.
