an increase in a nation's productivity
Labor specialization is what economists called division of labor. This is the practice of breaking up a big job, like building an automobile, into smaller jobs. Once the details of each small task are worked out, the tasks are assigned to individual workers. This way, instead of have to learn how to build an entire car, each worker only has to learn his or her task, which increases productivity.
An increase in productivity is when a person does something at a faster pace, and they get more done the faster they go.
I'm a freshman at Utah State diving into macroeconomics. One of the key points from my text states: "Knowledge increases productivity, do specialization increases total output." Can someone help me understand this? What is the total output, our goods, our economy? Or can someone give me am example to relate it to?
Usually, new technology will increase productivity in the economy. For example, if you replace a human in a factory with a robot that can work twice as quickly without breaks, productivity would increase.
an increase in a nation's productivity
Adam Smith, in his book "The Wealth of Nations," discussed the idea of division of labor and specialization. He argued that while it can increase productivity, it may also lead to workers losing a comprehensive skill set and passion for their work.
Workers who specialize become more efficient and thereby increase productivity.
Division of labor, helped increase productivity and gave birth to the factory system, which entailed increased division of labor and specialization of function.

A productivity deal is an agreement between an employer and employee. In this agreement, the employer commits to increase the pay rate with increase in productivity.

it leads to an increase in output
based on the classic bureaucratic principles of specialization and division of labor. In the control-oriented environment, worker commitment does not flourish. Division of labor can ultimately reduce productivity and increase costs
You increase labor productivity through allowing incentives as bonus and medical care as well as percentage of the profit.
they increase productivity but decrease jobs
