Productivity Is Measured By

Answer 3

In economics, productivity is the amount of output created (in terms of goods produced or services rendered) per unit input used. For instance, labour productivity is typically measured as output per worker or output per labour-hour.
Some economists write of "capital productivity" (output per unit of capital goods employed), the inverse of the capital/output ratio. "Total factor productivity," sometimes called multifactor productivity, also includes both labour and capital goods in the denominator (weighted by their incomes). So multifactor productivity would be output per unit of combined labor and capital inputs.

Answer 4

Both--depends on if YOU are driven to put the INPUT towards an activity or challenge or if YOU, as the observer, fairly judge one's effort or OUTPUT of their efforts.

In the end, we measure productivity either positively or negatively, respectively analyzying it's effect on us, others and our shared enviroment. And as the tried but true saying goes.....everyone has their opinion.
