The question is ill-defined. A laborer will almost certainly do more work in the purely physics sense of the word than an office worker. However, an office worker may put in considerably more time at work.

In the US, laborers generally work 40 hours per week. A salaried executive might be expected to put in a minimum of 50 hours per week.

Why did Karl marx and fredrich engels believed that capitalism was unfair and how did they expect the system to be changed?

In a nutshell, they believed that the working class were deprived of their fair share by those at the top, who saw most of the profits, while doing less. They believed in a more equal distribution of labor and profits form labor. The United States, where about 2% of the population controls about 95% of the nations wealth, would be an example of the unfairness they were talking about. If, in a business, all of the employees got an equal cut of the profits their company generated every month (which would be an incentive for everyone to work harder, smarter, and together), that would be an example of the Marxist ideal.

What was the name of the concept by which pay is distributed based on work produced rather than work produced rather than hours worked?

Piece work, or output work as it is sometimes called, is the concept that workers are paid for work produced rather than the number of hours worked. There is usually a set price for pieces of work that need to be done, and the worker is paid a flat rate regardless of the number of hours he or she works. There are stipulations on how and when this type of payment can be used, though.
