Measuring and Improving Organizational Productivity: A Practical Guide
Editorial Reviews
Review
“For the reader who elects to use the productivity ,easurement and enhancement (Promes) system developed by the author and his associates, or for the reader simply seeking a system, this book provides a precise description and practical guide. The step-by-step presentation offers a logical sequence form definition through installation and critique. One troubling issue throughout the discussion is the subordination of qualitative issues to quantitative measures. There is also some awkwardness in dealing with the motivational aspects of productivity measures; this is reflected in the relatively brief treatment in the introductory chapters, the fairly simplistic measures described in Appendix G, and the limited number of management references cited. Seven appendixes provide graphic examples illustrating the installation and evaluation process. Extensive industrial/organizational psychology reference list; well-ordered index. This clear and practical guide will be of value to both practitioners and students of production/operations management and industrial/organizational psychology.”–
“Productivity has become a national priority whose effects are being felt on all levels-national, industrial, and individual. An organization must be able to measure productivity before effectively improving it. This volume is the first practical guide for developing productivity measurement systems and describes the use of the Productivity Measurement and Enhancement System (ProMES) designed by its author and his colleagues. This detailed guide is a valuable source for organizational psychologists, management consultants, classes, and workshops.”–
