I wouldn't be surprised if a significant portion of that 29% that say it's good for productivity are managers or business owners.
Or they haven't realized increased perceived productivity is a bad thing. The goalpost is always moving for demanded worker productivity. Oh the invention of the computer can increase productivity by 100 times? No, you're not getting a less work utopia, instead, guess how much productivity you're now expected to produce? Oh the invention of the internet can increase productivity by 1000 times? Oh shoot, guess ya gotta get back to work to make those gains!!!
Says you. I just got back from a trip where I watched a lady hand key 100 workers hand written time cards into a computer system. I’m sure that person would be much more content if she wasn’t sitting in a cave all day slowly giving herself carpal tunnel.
The better way would be to leverage technology so workers could scan themselves in, then train the admin to review for anomalies.
You're both right because you're talking about completely different things.
