These researchers found that if you work from home you will be less efficient and productive than people who from their office. Can we say the same about freelance workers? Do you think that if workers are given the chance to "own" a task like freelancers they'll be more productive because it is just like being self-employed where you treat it as your business and not with the mindset of another man's business?
Sometimes I wonder how they carry out these surveys because in reality, the results are quite different from what results they published online and I don't know the criteria they used in judging and publishing this article. I do think that the point at which they are mainly looking on is the basis that people don't carry loads around in the house as used to in offices and workplaces.
