Researchers Claim Gaming At Work Good For You

Thanks to the BBC for their article discussing the effects of playing videogames at work. According to the article: "Scientists from the University of Utrecht have studied the effects of game playing on 60 employees in a Dutch insurance firm", and charted "how [workers] felt about the work they do and their job", finding people gave more positive responses after they played simple games such as Minesweeper. The scientists behind the survey argue "...that, instead of games being a waste of time at work, they might help personal productivity and make people feel better about their jobs", and are now intending "...to do a much larger-scale study, using more complicated games which involve strategy decisions or role playing."
