"Productivity" is a very general economic term that can refer to something as abstract as "revenue per worker":

There's no implication that the worker is producing the same physical objects every day.
For example, if a group of developers start using a new framework that allows them to create the same software in less time (thus costing less to produce), their productivity increases.
- yetihehe 6y agoNaming things is art. If you assign a label to something, people will see thing in the shape of that label. Sometimes changing labels may have some benefits, especially if "thing" you are labelling is intangible. People try to measure productivity of developers since the start and if it's a problem for 50 years, maybe we don't even measure the right thing?
