Productivity means different things to different people as they tend to focus on the dimensionsrnand factors which are relevant to them. We have considered productivity either as a very narrowrnor as a philosophical concept, and consequently have not exploited its full potential. Besidesrnresource utilization (efficiency) and output (effectiveness), productivity has been considered asrnworking smarter rather than harder, an attitude of mind, a process of change, improving thernquality of life and creating wealth, a journey without an end, and a stride towards perfection.rnThe employee productivity trend of Ethiopian garment factories was assessed throughrnquestionnaire. While the detail analysis of employee based productivity improvement techniquesrnwas performed at the case study, Akaki garment Share Company.rnThe required information needed to investigate the current status of Akaki garment SharernCompany with respect to the employee based productivity improvement techniques wasrncollected using different techniques. The first one was questionnaires and two types ofrnquestionnaires were prepared; one for the management body and the other for the workers. Thernsecond technique was document review. The last five years annual reports and different monthlyrnreports were revised and the necessary data was collected. The other technique was shop floorrnsurvey. The last technique was structured and unstructured interview for both the managementrnand the workers.rnFrom the literature twenty six employee based productivity improvement techniques werernidentified. From which, sixteen techniques were selected to be implemented for Akaki garmentrnshare company based on the result of the analysis of collected data. The sixteen techniques wererncategorized in to four groups based on their similarity in application. Using the selectedrntechniques, employee productivity improvement model was developed and the implementationrnprocedure was proposed. For the developed model, implementation frame work was proposed forrnall four categories.Productivity means different things to different people as they tend to focus on the dimensionsrnand factors which are relevant to them.
