KNOWLEDGE WORKER PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT PROCESSES TECHNOLOGIES and TECHNIQUES IN DEFENCE R AND D LABORATORIES AN EVALUATIVE STUDYquot

Abstract

quotImproving the productivity of knowledge worker is one of the major challenges for the newlinemanagement thinkers, researchers and business leaders in the world. Lot of research is under newlineway to find out the factors which are responsible for improving productivity of knowledge newlineworkers. Presently there is no single book or literature which gives at one place, the newlineinformation on the various processes, technologies and techniques which can improve the newlineproductivity of knowledge worker. The information is scattered in many literatures and is newlineavailable under various headings. newlineAn effort has been made here to find out the various processes, technologies and techniques newlinethose can improve the productivity of knowledge workers. An effort has also been made to newlinefind out the perspectives of the scientists at various levels on - usefulness of various newlineprocesses, technologies and techniques; use and encouragement given by Labs for acquiring skill newlinein each of these; trainings given by Labs for each of these and relative importance given by newlineeach scientist for each of these for improving the productivity of knowledge worker; to find newlineout perspectives of scientists responsible for human resource development (HRD) activities newlineon HRD infrastructure and effort in the Labs and to find out perspectives of junior level newlinescientists on use of information and communications technologies. newlineSix RandD Laboratories, under Defence Research and Development Organisationquot newline newline
