Abstract

Time management is very important at workplace. Employees have to work hard to accomplish their work on time hence; they often end up doing overtime in-order to improve their performance. For this purpose, Organizations are now offering overtime for their employees. This study relates to the comparison between voluntary overtime and compelled overtime and the research basically aims to determine the average attitude towards overtime. A total number of 280 employees or laborers from different construction-based companies were surveyed in-order to find out the comparison between voluntary overtime and compelled overtime and how it is scaled between the two. The independent sample t-test technique were used to compare the two variables of free-choice and obligation. The findings confirmed that the most of employees (labor) go for overtime based on their own will rather than compulsion.
