Well, a survey is quite different from an actual scientific poll, so I don't really trust those numbers. Also easy for managers to say they support it, but putting it into action is something completely different. I would be shocked if the 4 day work week existed in any substantial form in the next decade.
Personally, I think the right way to do things is shorten the workday, but keep it at 5 days. I know I'm not fully productive for the full 8 hours anyway, so why not just shorten the day so I don't have to give myself so many breaks to get through 8 hours. Say the workday is 5-6 hours and I'd probably get the same amount of total work done over the long run. It would make putting in OT way easier too as I'm not eating into my evening hours immediately.
