• Answer:

  have you heard about the hawthorne experiements at western electric? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect have you heard of taylorism, scientific management? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_management if you want to understand the concepts further that are mentioned above, see; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Fayol alternatively key factors (if we discount scientified management of labour productivity)... they can be organisational cultures dictating work and how it is done, the rate, pace and frequency of organisational change or the hierarchical structures and managmenet style which facilitate the shop floor workforce (the last one ties in with culture as well as change).
