Abstract
Introduction:
In this paper we study the Impact of extra‐curricular activities (Sports, Outing,
Exercise, E‐games, Board games, and use of internet) on employees' productivity (employee
capable to work more, have more stamina to work, willing to work more).
Method:
We randomly select employees who are associated with different industries, and
randomly choose 110 employees and assigning them into two groups whether they were
involved in extracurricular activities after his 8hours of working. After ward we used chi‐
square to verify whether there were any significant relationship with employees'
productivity and extracurricular activity.
Results:
According to the output of extracurricular‐activity (independent variable) and
employees productivity (dependent variable) shows that employees productivity
dependent on extracurricular activity and also suggest that it can increases the productivity
of an employees.
Conclusion:
Majority of the employees which are participated in extracurricular activities are more
capable (Capabilities are person's skills and abilities through which he can perform task
completely) to work more efficiently, and also able to work for a long hours then those who
are not participated or involve in any kind of extra curricular activities. Also the employees
who are not involve in any extracurricular activity AGREE’s with extracurricular activity
helps in increases in Productivity (employee capable to work more, employee have more
stamina to work, willing to work more).

Impact of Extracurricular Activities on Employee's
Productivity
Introduction:
Now days in this competitive world where we have a lot of issues
regarding increase in efficiency of work; we have one more important issue which is
based on employee's productivity (employee capable to work more, employee have
more stamina to work, willing to work more). Now days due to lack of time and to
keep himself busy people are not involving in extracurricular activities (Sports,
Outing, Exercise, E‐games, Board games, and use of internet) due to which they are
loosing there capabilities; the process is very slow but internally destroying people
efforts. A person will not be capable to work more when he returns from his work
place. There are some factors which can affect employee's productivity such as; His
family, the media, society itself. Many causes or agents can affect employee but
most notable is his family, social change and the media, reforms and policies and
other aspects such as; motivation, intellectual capacity, and self esteem.
Undoubtedly; employee's productivity has been assessed along traditional lines,
from a basic quantitative viewpoint based on scores or marks obtained in different
task achieved. Some times distribution of marks considered as "discrimination"
because it involve psychological aspects of mark distributor (marks distributor is a
person who is giving a marks or score on his judgment and experience).
Different activities in which employee's participate both in side and out‐side of his
work place by it‐self that can have an effect on these concepts. Extracurricular‐
activities have been associated with Productivity, interpersonal competencies,
higher aspiration and better attention level. It can increase personal social maturity

and critical thinking, with great benefits which can serve to bridge the work activities
with those performed outside the work place.
Study Conducted by: Nabeel A. Khan - 7 -
Background:
Research performed on the claim of fact that Employee's involved in extracurricular
activities has higher Productivity than those not involved in activities. This topic
studied because people are loosing their capabilities with passage of time. One more
important reason of study is that; our young generation also under the influence of
lack of productivity. If we put a glance on the previous generations they are more
active, competitive, productive, energetic then this or upcoming generation. With
the help of this report we can find the relation between extracurricular activities and
employee's productivity. If there is any relation through which we can improve our
deficiencies.
Purpose of the study:
The study will give the benefit for all the people and for those who are employed.
Many other people can also take an advantage through the study from different
angles because; it impact on social culture, impact on physical and analytical
capacity and capability of a person, increases productivity etc. In my point of view
for an employee and other people; it is necessary to spend or occupy his or her free
time, spare time or leisure time in extracurricular activities because it really helpful
in keeping a people himself active and productive.
Justification:
The issue or problem had been observed on the basis of judgment,
opinions, views, and also few matter of productivity related with employee's which
is totally related with physical and analytical capabilities. (Capabilities are person's
skills and abilities through which he can perform task completely). The issue
also rises because of the complaint observed by the employers.

For all these reasons; this paper seeks to study whether or not a relationship
exists between extracurricular activities and employee's productivity.
Scope:
The scope of the investigation includes employee's of every field or discipline
and the relationship between their involvement in activities and their productivity.
Some collegiate level studies were used since the benefits of extracurricular
activities in high school and college are the same.
Assumption:
In this research we have two variables in which employee's productivity is
dependent on extracurricular activity. It means that our first variable that is
"dependent variable" which is employee's productivity is dependent on
extracurricular activity which is "independent variable". I have read few researches
which are on students who participates more in extracurricular activities got higher
grades in school. That’s one of the major reason that I assume; because of
extracurricular activities employee's productivity will be affected or can observe an
impact of extracurricular activity on employee's productivity.
Operational definitions:
Employee's Productivity: (Employee capable to work more, employee have more stamina to work, willing to work more).
Extracurricular Activities: (Sports, Outing, Exercise, E‐games, Board games, and use of internet etc).

Research Objective:
Our main objective is to find the impact of extracurricular activities on employee's
productivity. We wanted to explore the relationship among both variables.
LITERATURE REVIEW:
The research topic we have chosen is relatively a new phenomenon to explore in our
society, and not much research is done on this specific topic. We have developed a
concept which can helped us to identify some variables which could be directly
related to our research but would contribute in understanding the phenomenon of
productivity of employee's due to the involvement in extracurricular activity.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Hypothesis:
H0 : Extracurricular Activities increases Employee's productivity
Ha : Extracurricular Activities do not increases Employee's productivity
Population: The total population of my research is 18% (3240000) of the total population
of Karachi which is 10.8 million.
Sample size: Sample size of the research is 110. This is an inductive research.
Instrument to be used: Questionnaire
Study Conducted by: Nabeel A. Khan - 11 -
Design analysis:
We have collected the data of 110 employees who are associated with different
fields and industries in which 70 employees are involved in different extracurricular
activities (Sports, Outing, Exercise, E‐games, Board games, and use of internet) and
40 employees not involved in any extracurricular activity. Results were assessed as a
function of their participation and non participation in extracurricular activity. From
the data gathered we will asses and analyses the relationship among both variables.
Statistical test technique:
We have used chi‐square distribution to test the hypothesis.
Explanatory Research:
The study can be explanatory when the focus is on cause‐effect relationships,
explaining what causes produce what effects. Our concern in casual analysis is how
one variable affects, or is “responsible for,” changes in another variable.
We are more interested in understanding, predicting and controlling relationships
between variables. My research is descriptive research. It explains the phenomenon
of relationship among variable and also defines (WH Question) that the descriptive
study only observed.
Our research purpose and research questions reveal that this study is primarily
descriptive. Large‐scale survey studies conducted to identify the impact of
extracurricular activities on employee's productivity. The related data will be
collected and analyzed to verify the hypotheses of the research.

Research Approach:
The choice of research approach naturally depends on the defined research
problems and the data needed for solving these problems.
Qualitative Method:
The qualitative approach implies an emphasis on processes and meanings that
are not measured in terms of quantity, amount, intensity or frequency. The
qualitative approach provides a deeper understanding of the phenomenon within its
context.
Moreover, qualitative researchers stress the socially constructed nature of reality
that states the relationship between the researcher and the phenomenon under
investigation. On the other hand, quantitative researchers emphasize the
measurement and analysis of casual relationships between variables. Cochran and
Dolan have also related differences between qualitative and quantitative research to
the distinction between exploratory (qualitative) and confirmatory (quantitative)
analysis. According to Sullivan (2001), when there is little theoretical support for a
phenomenon, it may be impossible to develop precise hypotheses, research
questions, or operational definitions. In such cases, qualitative research is
appropriate because it can be more exploratory in nature.

Conclusion:
After testing my hypothesis by Test of Chi‐Square, I draw the following conclusion. The
test shows that majority of the employees which are participated in extracurricular
activities are more capable (Capabilities are person's skills and abilities through which
he can perform task completely) to work more efficiently, and also able to work for a
long hours then those who are not participated or involve in any kind of extra
curricular activities. Also the employees who are not involve in any extracurricular
activity AGREE’s with Extracurricular activity helps in increases in Productivity
Employee capable to work more, employee have more stamina to work, willing to
work more).
A significant amount of people agree that extracurricular activities can have an impact on employee’s productivity.
