“…The general definition of productivity means the level of output compared to the units of all the resources used to produce that output (Duran et al , 2015), while Eschenbach et al (2006) stated that work efficiency and effective knowledge handling are determinants of productivity. Productivity is a key contributor to economic growth as it reduces input costs and makes the use of production factors more efficient (Korkmaz and Korkmaz, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyse, firstly, whether education, financial inclusion, financial literacy and financial planning can be antecedents that affect Islamic welfare and, secondly, whether productivity can be a mediator to improve Islamic welfare. Design/methodology/approach This study involved quantitative research using data obtained from a survey. The respondents were 538 Muslim families in East Java, Indonesia. Structural equation modelling was used for the analysis. Findings This study tested 13 hypotheses, of which 10 were accepted. The accepted hypotheses refer to the effects of financial literacy on productivity, financial inclusion on productivity, financial planning on productivity, financial planning on Islamic welfare, education on Islamic welfare, productivity on Islamic welfare, financial literacy and productivity on Islamic welfare, financial inclusion and productivity on Islamic welfare and financial planning and productivity on Islamic welfare, as well as the effects of financial inclusion on Islamic welfare. Meanwhile, three hypotheses were not accepted; they refer to the effects of financial literacy on Islamic welfare, the effect of education on productivity, as well as the impact of education and productivity on Islamic welfare. Research limitations/implications The study was conducted only with respondents living in East Java, so the results depict the condition of Muslim families’ welfare in East Java. Originality/value Research into the antecedents of Islamic welfare has received little academic attention, so this study explores how education, financial inclusion, financial literacy, financial planning and productivity could affect Islamic welfare among Muslim families.

“…Performance measures, metrics and indicators bring in the organization the vision and established strategies to life by providing specific, measurable expectations that guide each employee in fulfilling the roles that contribute to the success of the business, providing essential links between strategy, execution and creation of final value, making the purposes of an organization tangible (Choong, 2013). Among its functions is to identify gaps between performance and expectation, informing users of the direction to follow and pointing out the path of intervention and improvement (Melnyk et al , 2004; Eschenbach et al , 2006).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to perform a comparative analysis between the productivity metrics recommended in the literature and those that companies in the knowledge-intensive services sector use in practice.Design/methodology/approachTo collect information, a systematic review of the literature was used, to apply virtual surveys and interviews among managers of different companies representing the sector. For data analysis, categorical optimal scales, homogeneity tests, tetrachoric correlation matrices, word clouds and association coefficients for dichotomous variables were used.FindingsThere are association patterns between the metrics used and the nature of the work performed. Despite the heterogeneity observed in the productivity metrics, categorization guidelines related to the traditional, human resources and customer-oriented approaches emerge.Practical implicationsPossible neglects using metrics aimed at valuing the intellectual capital immersed in human resources are evident, particularly in the follow-up to autonomy, knowledge management, human capital, teamwork, training and capacity building metrics, among others. Conversely, face-to-face monitoring metrics, such as absenteeism, are overvaluation.Originality/valueThe approaches and metrics discussed and the results obtained, provide information so that knowledge-intensive companies have a reference framework to identify and select useful metrics to assess the work carried out by their workforce.

Für das Forschungsinstitut könnte hier durch eine systematische Kommunikation bereits vorhandener Richtlinien relativ schnell ein Beitrag zum systematischen Lernen geleistet werden.…”
