Calculations One gets the average economic productivity by dividing output value and (time or physical) units of input. In addition, if the production process uses only one factor (labor, for example), the procedure gives the productivity name of that factor. (In this case, labor productivity). If there is more than one input used for each factor, it is possible to compute by the same procedure its productivity. Seeing things in a positive light might seem easy for some people but many people are having a hard time in appreciating the brighter side of life. Maybe because people just have different personalities and different upbringing that affect the way they see life in general. If one wants to increase productivity, he or she must start developing a positive outlook in life. Efficiency Efficiency as a concept assumes an ability to identify a change in the productivity ratio. Managers want to compare with their competitors and assess the possible scope on productivity improvement. Efficiency gathers this productivity factor into account and compares it to some known potential. Effective tips to increase productivity For people who have just realized the importance of productivity and would want to start it but they just don t know how, here are some of the things that could be really helpful with the process: 1. Take time to reflect and re-assess yourself. People think that they know themselves already that is why they refuse to do self-assessment on a regular basis. According to his estimates, the contribution of increases in capital input per capita over this extensive period was negative. Relevant to these, Tinberger in 1942 analyzed the sources of U.S. economic growth a century ago. He found that efficiency accounted for only a little more that a quarter of growth in output, while growth in capital and labor inputs accounted for the remainder. In effect, the studies showed that profit-sharing extended to non-managerial employees had increased productivity more than what the profit-sharing scheme with managerial workers did. Benchmarking also raised labor productivity by 6%. Computers To date, computers have also played a significant role in productivity increase (12% output) compared in the 80 s when equipment investments accounted for 7% output growth.
