Logical (Critical) Reasoning Questions for CLAT | QB Set 77

The nature of work is evolving, both in terms of tasks performed and how they are organized. Factors like urbanization, the growing number of women in the workforce, and the rise of a 24/7 work culture have disrupted traditional work-life balance and social support structures. Technology, on one hand, is seen as a tool that empowers workers to manage increasingly complex demands. On the other hand, it can also be viewed as a restrictive force, reducing autonomy and depriving workers of time to rest and recover.

Recent research suggests that emails and social media may contribute to digital overload, negatively impacting people’s personal lives. This not only affects workers’ health and their families’ well-being but also hampers their overall productivity. The organization of work and the role of technology are therefore crucial to the well-being of both individuals and society as a whole.

A study conducted by Oxford University shows that when employees improve their physical health, their productivity throughout the day significantly increases. The American Broadcasting Company (ABC), a large multinational television network owned by Walt Disney Television, could consider implementing mandatory morning exercise programs to help boost productivity levels.
