Book excerpt: Abstract: Trends in American productivity are examined; and their causes, effects, and management are discussed. Federal government, private industry and individuals all have a stake in overcoming diminished economic vigor. If the US is to demonstrate technological leadership over the coming years the author believes that work and lifestyles of all Americans must change. To this end, methods for managing one's own behavior, efficiency, physical, and mental well being are outlined and suggestions for increasing energy and lifespan are made. Other chapters discuss stress management of human behavior in the workplace (increasing management effectiveness, promoting productive work relationships, strengthening communication and facilitating the acceptance of information processing and microelectronics in the work world).

Download or read book Psychology and Productivity written by Paul Whitney and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is based on the symposium "Psychology and Productivity: Bringing Together Research and Practice" held at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in August 1987. The conference was made possible by the Marie Wilson Howell's bequest to the UALR Psychology Department. The symposium participants (and others invited to contribute to this volume) came from three different perspectives. There were basic researchers with a broad range of theoretical interests, applied researchers with an industrial-organizational orientation, and practitioIlers who apply psychological principles in business settings. The conference was organized into three sessions, each consisting of presentations and discussions from one of the perspectives. This book follows the same format. It was our hope that the symposium would serve as a forum for communication across different areas that can contribute to understanding and improving white collar productivity. We hope that this volume helps to continue, on a broader scale, the communication established at the symposium.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Metrics and Techniques to Measure Microcomputer Productivity The role of information processing has changed with the introduction of the microcomputer into the workplace. The microcomputer has become a tool that often enables the user to directly control information processing-needs without the assistance of the professional adp staff. The relative 'low cost of microcomputers, their adaptability to various applications, and the availability of software which is useful to non - computer professionals has resulted in the proliferation and use of microcomputers in the office environment. While there is general agreement that microcomputers do increase office productivity, there is little hard, quantifiable data to actually support this claim. Many companies have published reports of substantial improvements to productivity, but few have attempted to actually measure the changes, and fewer still have achieved any reliable measurements By and large, the published reports have drawn the conclusion of productivity gains based on the perception of the managers and workers in the affected office environments. The use of microcomputers by professional and clerical staffs overlap but are functionally different. The clerical staff primarily utilizes word processing which can be measured at the individual level (e.g. Number of words in within a specific period). It appears, however, that the primary benefits to the professional staff are not in speeding up the information flow, but in improving the depth of analysis and understanding of the available information. Therefore, professional staff productivity should be measured in terms of the information handled and processed. Through spread sheet analysis and accounting and financial systems, the professional can better understand the significance of theinformation and thus, can make more informed decisions which result in improved performance of the entire organization.

Download or read book Productivity Measurement and Management at the Company Level written by Kazukiyo Kurosawa and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1991 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive overview of productivity analysis at the corporate level. It begins with productivity measurement and evaluation in the workplace where the main focus is on unit input requirement. The theory of worker productivity and its management is discussed intensively. Secondly, the intermediate stage of aggregation of activities at corporate level is given in terms of total cost rentability and productivity nexus. Using this approach the total efficiency of corporate activity is evaluated and compared with productivity performance both in Japan and worldwide, as well as with the average performance of the industry in which the firm is involved. Thirdly, the final concept of corporate productivity: added value productivity is examined. Added value is the total fruit of corporate activities and the fund to be distributed among its members. The total structure of added value, which is not quite so simple as many textbooks have led to believe, is analysed in detail and applied to the corporate productivity management scheme. Finally, white-collar productivity, one of the most topical areas in productivity studies today is also examined in detail.
