Smartphone breaks make workers more productive

Want to be more productive and happier during the workday? Try taking a short break to text a friend, play Angry Birds or check Facebook on your smartphone, according to a new study.

Researcher Sooyeol Kim from the Kansas State University found that allowing employees to take smartphone 'micro-breaks' may be a benefit — rather than a disruption — for businesses.

Through a study of 72 full-time workers from various industries, Kim discovered that employees only spend an average of 22 minutes out of an eight-hour workday playing on their smartphones. He also found that employees who take smartphone breaks through the day are happier at the end of the workday .

"A smartphone microbreak can be beneficial for both the employee and the organization," Kim said. "For example, if I would play a game for an hour during my working hours, it would definitely hurt my work performance. But if I take short breaks of one or two minutes throughout the day, it could provide me with refreshment to do my job," said Kim.

Kim and his collaborators tailor-made an application for the study. The application was then installed by the 72 study participants on their smartphones
