A new study by researchers from the University of Jyväskylä has found that working outside office hours can help reduce exhaustion for some workers.
The study by a team at the university's Department of Linguistics and Communication Sciences followed thousands of workers in the IT sector.
The researchers found that being available for work-related tasks outside normal office hours was positively correlated to feeling in control of a job.
