Abstract
This study explores the major factors influencing employee productivity in the IT services sector, with special focus on the working environment, compensation and benefits, employee motivation, and training and development. In today’s competitive business environment, employee productivity plays a vital role in determining organizational success and long-term growth. The study adopts a descriptive research design to better understand how these factors affect employees in their day-to-day work life. Primary data were collected from 100 employees working across five different departments through a structured questionnaire. The collected data were analysed using various statistical tools such as Cronbach’s Alpha, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, t-test, ANOVA, Chi-Square test, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression. The findings revealed that the regression model explained 70.9% of the variation in employee productivity. Among all the variables studied, employee motivation emerged as the strongest factor influencing productivity, followed by working environment, compensation and benefits, and training and development. The study also identified gender as a significant factor affecting productivity levels, highlighting the need for organizations to adopt fair and inclusive HR practices. The results suggest that organizations can improve employee performance by creating a supportive work environment, offering fair compensation, motivating employees effectively, and investing in continuous learning and development programs. The study further emphasizes the importance of communication, employee well-being, and management support in building a productive workforce. Overall, the research provides practical insights for HR professionals and organizational leaders to enhance employee engagement, satisfaction, and organizational performance in the IT services industry for sustainable organizational growth and success.
