Introduction
Productivity & Labour Productivity
Productivity is a measure of output from a production process, per unit of
input. For example, labor productivity is typically measured as a ratio of
output per labor-hour, an input. Productivity may be conceived of as a metric
of the technical or engineering efficiency of production. As such, the
emphasis is on quantitative metrics of input, and sometimes output.
Productivity is distinct from metrics of allocative efficiency, which take into
account both the monetary value (price) of what is produced and the cost of
inputs used, and also distinct from metrics of profitability, which address the
difference between the revenues obtained from output and the expense
associated with consumption of inputs.
Labour productivity is the ratio of (the real value of) output to the input of
labour. Where possible, hours worked, rather than the numbers of
employees, is used as the measure of labour input. With an increase in part-
time employment, hours worked provides the more accurate measure of
labour input. Labour productivity should be interpreted very carefully if
used as a measure of efficiency. In particular, it reflects more than just the
efficiency or productivity of workers. Labour productivity is the ratio of
output to labour input; and output is influenced by many factors that are
outside of workers' influence, including the nature and amount of capital
equipment that is available, the introduction of new technologies, and
management practices.

Over the course of experiment, Mayo’s team altered the worker’s working
conditions and then monitored how the working conditions affected the
workers morale and productivity. The changes in working conditions
included changes in working hours, rest brakes, lighting, humidity, and
temperature. The changes were explained to the workers prior to
implementation.
At the end of the experiment, the worker’s working conditions, reverted back
to the conditions before the experiment began. Unexpectedly the workers
morale and productivity rose to levels higher than before and during the
experiments.
The combination of results during and after the experiment (i.e the increase
in the workers’ productivity when they were returned to their original
working conditions) led Mayo to conclude that workers were motivated by
psychological conditions more than physical working condition. He also
concluded that workers were motivated by more than self interest and
instead the following applied:
Title Justification
The topic “study of worker’s productivity” shows the
productivity of workers during their work time. The
topic suggest about the per unit wages of workers
means it defines their idle hour and working hours.
Time and motion study is one of the methods for
study the productivity of workers in industry. This
project helps workers as well as employer to increase
productivity in their organizations. Hawthorne
experiments also give methods to study productivity
by its experiments. The study of worker’s
productivity mainly depends upon the output which
he provides to the organization by his efforts.
The Journey
Under the dynamic leadership of Shri Jawaharlal Darda and his sons Vijay
and Rajendra, Lokmat achieved a meteoric rise in the late 80s and the 90s by
focusing on the needs of the readers. Highest standards in journalism, quality
in every field of the business, cutting edge technology and a national network
of some of the most talented journalist catapulted Lokmat to the forefront of
Maharashtra's journalism.
Over the years several new editions were added including newspapers in
Hindi and English languages. Lokmat today is the 4th largest read
newspaper in the country (National Readership Survey 2006) having a
readership of 10.85 million people every day.
LOKMAT DAILIES
From the above different type of researches, this project work can be
described as Quantitative vs. Qualitative.
DATA COLLECTION
The success of any research project depends critically on data. So
data as the important aspects of research there mainly are two type
of data which are used for any research project.
Primary data
Secondary data
Secondary Data :- Secondary data are statistics not gathered for the
immediate study at hand but which have already been collected by
someone else and which have already been passed through the
statistical process. In case of this project work the secondary data has
secondary importance and the same is collected from sources like.
1. Internet
2. Books
3. Brochures
For taking secondary data I take the help of company’s brochure, pamplets
and website. I also use some books for taking some theoretical aspects related
to productivity.
Sample Size
Number of the sample units selected from the population is called the size of
the sample. Sample of 50 respondents were obtained from the population.
