All football fans all across the world has been waiting for 2010 to come. This year is the year whereby the FIFA World Cup, the world-wide soccer tournament which is held every 4 years, came back into the light.
The loyal follower of FIFA World Cup 2010 might be excited however it did not apply to the employers whom their workers decided to skip work or took leave just to watch the World Cup. As different countries have different airing time of the FIFA World Cup, some people might be in a country whereby the World Cup starts after midnight. For example, in Singapore, the final of the World Cup was at 2.30 am. Therefore, as a soccer fan, one would sacrifice his sleeping time just to watch the final match hence leading to lethargic and sleepiness during the daytime on the next day.
In one of the articles, it was mentioned that in China, there was a man who prioritizes World Cup that he said that he would quit his job just to watch World Cup. Some even lied to get leave from their jobs just to enjoy watching the World Cup during his work time at home. This shows that many of the football fans are risking their daily life just to indulge in their interest and hence it decreases the output of the companies.
Although World Cup brings bad impact to the working world, it also has its advantage. It helps to encourage the workers whom also World Cup fans to work harder to finish their job so that they can watch World Cup at their home after they finish their job. Therefore I agree that World Cup affects office productivity, both positively and negatively.
