The event that everybody is psyched about. The event that no one can avoid. The event that is recognised globally. The event that affects work productivity.
Although the football-loving world are all hyped up to catch this event, their focus on other important things is lost. It is even worse for soccer fanatics who take medical leaves and abandon their work duties just to catch the tournament. Research shows that most of those who work in offices plan to watch the match in their office computer if their medical leaves do not get accepted. Mass watching might crash the system since it is live telecast. Hence, this would be consequential especially for big companies.
A lot of workers would also opt to watch the match rather than to work on their assignments. This is reasonable because the employees would rather watch something interesting than spend their time on mundane and stressful office work.
The World Cup also comes once in every four years so avid fans would not let the opportunity of watching something as sensational as this slip by them. Hence comes the late nights which exhausts and drains them out of their energy. The next day when these people, be it students or the working population, report to their school or workplace, they do not have the energy or concentration to continue their work anymore. The lack of sleep takes it's toll on them and brings forth health problems such as chronic headaches, migraine and eye strain. The inability to cope with work then forces them to take medical leaves and be absent from school or work.
It is a chain of events that impacts the population and work productivity. Therefore, World Cup 2010 definitely affects the productivity. However, this can be improved on if those affected manage their time well and avoid late nights. They can watch pre-recorded matches instead.
