Human factor in the system of conditions of work productivity

Modern literature concerning the socio-economic growth more and more often focuses its attention on a human being and on motives of his/her actions as well as values he/she represents. In developed countries basic factors of development are creative abilities and personal achivements of people. Thus more and more attention is devoted to the theory and practice of a so-called human factor. The author tries to define the notion of „human factor" and characterizes it as pertaining to a psychophysical set of inherent and acquired features. Then, he defines the place of a human factor in the system of conditions of work productivity. Finally, the author tries to quantify the impact of a human factor on work productivity on the basis of foreign writing and his own research.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
