　　Caught Twittering of on Facebook at work？It'll make you a better employee．An Australian study shows that surfing the internet for fun during office hours increases productivity．

　　The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the internet for personal reasons at work are about 9percent more productive than those who do not．the study author Brent Coker，from the department of management and marketing，said"workplace Internet leisure browsing（工作时的网络休闲）"，or WILB，helped to sharpen workers'concentration．"People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration，"Coker said on the university's website （www．unimelb．edu．au/）．"Short breaks，such as quick surf of the Internet，enable the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total net concentration for a day's work，and as a result，increase productivity，"he said．

　　According to the study of 300workers，70percent of people who use the Internet at work engage in WILB．Among the most popular WILB activities are searching for information about products，reading online news，playing online games and watching videos on YouTube．

　　"Many firms spend millions on software to block their employees from watching videos，using networking sites or shopping online under the pretence that it costs millions in lost productivity，"said Coker．"That's not always the case．"

　　However，Coker said the study looked at people who browsed in moderation （适度），or were on the Internet for less than 20percent of their total time in the office．"Those who behave with Internet addiction tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without，"he said．
