Abstract

This paper is an attempt to provide a method based on
framework of three step problem solving algorithm so that it would bale
o, first,: display the measurement of knowledge workers productivity in
different levels of organization on the basis of classic model of output per
nput and specific model of “W.C.M.” (Will, Can, May) (determining the
current status), second, identify the causes for current status on the basis of
specific provided model and be prioritized on the basis of appropriate
decision making method and their effects on productivity of knowledge
workers be determined using dynamic analyses,( determining causes).
Finally, it would be able to predict knowledge workers productivity during
a one year period on the basis of time series techniques and to propose the
best alternative from among different alternatives (selecting alternatives)
as solution for improving the knowledge workers productivity considering
he conditions (providing solution). The above mentioned method is
ested in the Iranian company and it is validated on the basis of structural
validation approach.
