I can't find the study again (ok I probably could if I looked but I'm busy atm) but I remember seeing a thing that put teaching in japan at the top of total work hours compared to teaching worldwide, while at the same time near the bottom of time actually spent teaching. Which I guess can get you lots of time to prep for high quality lessons but the working time was honestly absurd

and it sort of balances out with what my brother's said about his experience teaching english there, there's a lot of time when they want you around and "working" when there isn't really any work to do

Dont know if they have the same experience in that as here but there was some research here about workplace effectiveness and it turned out that, for office jobs at least, productivity on 5 and 8 hour work days was the exact same with some evidence that working less also increased the quality of work as well.
