Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Historically, capital investment has been the greatest source of productivity improvements. But what if you don't have the money to invest? Since most Federal agencies operate on limited budgets, we propose redirecting productivity efforts into better management of human capital. In this paper, we examine productivity through the eyes of Federal employees. Drawing on government studies and academic literature, we identify what makes Federal employees more or less productive and search for relatively cost-free ways to improve productivity. Using ordered logit analysis on data from the 2000 Merit Principles Survey, we explore how demographic and attitudinal characteristics influence perceptions of productivity levels and the potential for improvement. We find that making employees’ jobs more meaningful, giving them more flexibility in how they do their work, building an organizational climate of trust and respect, and correcting or dismissing poor performers can markedly improve overall productivity among the Federal workforce.
