There are some factors that can help to improve as well as worsen productivity. Last century, Britain started its foundation of a wealth state and introduced many new policies to help elder, unemployed and lower paid people. Meanwhile, many trade unions were set up and have forced enormous power that can influence markets.When people are provided with higher living standards, their lives will have safety nets. They can have lower risk and are more likely to work harder as their health and children's care are secured. However, when such safety net is raised above a certain level, workers can lose their incentives to work hard as many of their goals can be easily achieved without working hard. In addition, trade unions can help positive roles as well as negative roles. They can protect workers' benefits to help them secure their jobs when they work hard; however, sometimes trade unions become businesses, they work for maximising their members' and unions' profits but ignoring the mutual benefits of the entire industry.
Furthermore, some companies and schools complain internet and computers have disturbed their employees and students' focus, they block Facebook and some other similar websites from their employees and schools. Of course, such block does not really have efficient impacts, as such distraction has countless sources and companies and schools cannot block all of them away from employees and students. Meanwhile, internet and computers definitely help workers and students to receive more information and deliver work faster, as computers and internet have many qualities that our human beings cannot compete with.
Therefore, everything has its positive and negative sides, there is an optimal point where delivers the best outcomes.
