Productivity Decrease as a Result of its Incorrect Perceptions and Superficial Attitudes

Abstract:

Today productivity has been proposed more than a mere economic index and criterion. It has been proposed as a culture, a general approach, a system-oriented attitude and a total of all components so that it could cause interaction in economic, social, and cultural aspects of the society, organization and even individuals. In this regard, some incorrect perceptions and superficial attitudes from productivity have caused that some important factors be hidden from planners and politicians’ view in micro and macro levels and not only productivity hasn’t been increased but also as a consequence, it has been decreased and has made organizations or society encountered with wasting of resources and misguiding of the main route of growth and development so that if the future generations wanted to embark on reforming, it would be a very difficult, long term work and demands high material and immaterial costs. Therefore, the researchers attempt to discuss some of the most important of these perceptions, attitudes and hidden factors of productivity in brief.
