Productivity

Productivity is the measure of the efficiency with which goods and services are produced, often expressed as the ratio of outputs to inputs in a specific period. It assesses how effectively resources—such as labor, capital, and materials—are utilized to generate economic value. Higher productivity indicates more output generated per unit of input, which can lead to increased economic growth and improved standards of living. In various contexts, productivity can refer to individual performance in completing tasks, organizational efficiency in processes, or overall economic output in a national or regional economy. It is a key indicator in economics, business, and management that influences decision-making and strategic planning.
