Leisure time is a particularly important part for workers and has many benefits for their health and well-being. The present research was conducted to study the impact that employees' leisure time can have on their work effort. A questionnaire was used to collect the survey data with a sample of 202 employees from a number of private sector companies. The respondents had to provide answers about their free time allocation, their work behaviour and their work effort. The results showed a positive correlation between leisure time and work effort. Therefore, through this study it can be understood how important the effect of free time is for employees both for their work effort, which seems to be higher, and also for their work performance and motivation, which have the same upward trend.
