Abstract

The concept of productivity was originally given by economists like Adam Smith, David Ricardo and J.S Mill as early as in the 18th century. The Classical economists who originated this concept of productivity had Technocrats like Taylor who gave practical slant to productivity in his ‘task study'. He gave the concept of increased productivity not by working harder but by working smarter. Technical effectiveness is measured in terms of productivity and efficiency. Thus, an increase in the number of units produced without the use of additional labour indicates a gain in productivity. In this paper an emphasis is given to evaluate technical approach of productivity as a vital tool of Human Resource Planning and to analyze productivity issues and the impact of technological changes on work or job content.
