In today’s ruthless and cut-throat business world, companies must strive to achieve optimum efficiency, effectiveness and productivity in their workplace to keep the steady upward growth of companies. However, the paramount problem companies currently face is not knowing what affects the level of productivity in their workplace, which, as a result, hinders them from taking action to address the barriers that slow down their operations. This research paper can help identify factors affecting employee productivity, such as work environment, management practices, supportive managers, and burnout. The research paper uses data from a survey sent to working individuals in Singapore. Participants were asked to fill out 20 questions to evaluate how their preferences in the workplace affected their productivity levels on a 1-5 scale. Results showed that while most respondents were quite satisfied with their jobs and believed that the support, they received boosted their productivity, there were variations in the results across demographics like age, race, and the number of years the employee has worked at the company/organisation. This data can be used to make targeted improvements to increase productivity, helping organisations create a culture of productivity that benefits both the business and its employees, proving useful for Human Resource managers. Improved productivity has been shown to benefit employees by reducing their workload and stress levels, leading to greater job satisfaction and overall well-being.Metrics
