In doing so, you would find that yourself is centered on one specific factor, that can be about money, power, work, self, pleasure, possession, family, spouse or company. Knowing yourself well calls for knowing what your main priority and target is. To set a goal for your initiatives, it would significantly help if you would determine the center of your priorities. There is also a divergence between output price deflator used to compute productivity and consumer product price used in computing real incomes. In addition, there is slippage between growth in wages per hour and growth in income per capita. This is caused by fluctuations in unemployment, labor force participation, and working hours per person. To get back to the structural growth trend, an increased productivity through investment in new capital and innovation is needed - and not just through cost-cutting of the current resource base. This would comprise investments in technological change and innovation, skill and performance level of the labor force, and all the organizational intangibles (management and workplace practices, organizational structure, ICT applications and human resource strategies). Regarding the motivation of fear, it did not take long for the working environment to become highly negative. Negativity in the office tends to decrease productivity. Some businesses have seen more employees spending more time at the proverbial water cooler. They are griping about the fact that they do not have enough money because of the present cutbacks. Conventional productivity measurement In a car manufacturing plant, productivity measurement is straightforward. One is a physical measure where the total number of cars made in a period of time is divided by the number of worker-hours spent in producing them. The other way is a monetary measure. It is the total dollar value of cars produced in a given period of time divided by the total number of worker-hours needed to assemble them. 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. Good examples of efficiency measures are the traditional labor productivity measures of standard hours compared to productive hours.
