        In this research, the relationship between productivity indexes with solvency ratios and manner of the relationship has been studied; in order to make use of solvency ratios as replacement of productivity indexes. Among 372 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange, 100 companies were chosen at random manner, and the hypothesis were tested in a period of 7 years time, between 1380 and the end of 1386.                                                                      In this research, among financial indexes, solvency ratios (which include debt ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt on stockholders equity ratio and debt on market value stock ratio) and among productivity indexes, labor and capital productivity were chosen.                                                                                              The research proved that among solvency rations just interest coverage ratio is of meaningful relation with productivity indexes, but an appropriate statistical model was not found to replace solvency ratios instead of productivity indexes.                                           Manuscript profile

        The importance and role of human resources in organizations and enterprises, economic and industrial as the stimulus of the economic cycle of the society is not at all anybody. But today, work-related accidents, as one of the key factors in the loss of efficient human resources and the loss of capital and time, are a threat to the development and development of any country. These incidents have a huge impact on the productivity of various industry workers and ultimately on the economy of society.In most of the studies, cost estimates have often been used to calculate the costs of safety in the workplace, and usually the cost of any damage or cost of the entire accident is calculated, and despite the importance of reducing productivity from work-related accidents , This important is still ignored. Therefore, in the present study, a multi-criteria decision-making methodology for presenting a cost-effective engineering model based on productivity indicators has been used. The results of this study showed that, according to the criteria, the priority of conducting classes and training courses, creation of safety regulations in administrative and manufacturing departments, investment in medical care, safety equipment and machinery purchase, equipment and technology The newest have the greatest impact on engineering safety costs based on productivity indicators Manuscript profile

        AbstractThe industry sector is one of the most important and influential sectors in the economy ofany country. Information and communication technology can be effective on all types ofproductivity in industries through infrastructure channels. Iran, as a developing country,seeks to improve productivity due to its special conditions. In industries, in order to uselimited resources more and more efficiently, so that by increasing its competitive power,it can be successful in competing with global markets and international arenas. Therefore,the purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of information and communicationtechnology on the productivity of all production factors.capital productivity and laborproductivity in factory industries of Zanjan and Qazvin provinces This research in termsof its practical purpose and its time period includes the years 2006-2016. The statisticalpopulation also includes factory industries with 10 workers and above in the two provincesof Zanjan and Qazvin. The relevant data is based on the latest published information ofthe four-digit isic codes of the industries. Factories with 10 or more workers in twoprovinces have been collected from the Iranian Statistics Center. The research hypotheseswere tested through panel data using the Cobb-Douglas production function and estimatedby Ols method by Eviews econometrics software. The results of this study show that Fawadoes not have a significant effect on capital productivity and labor productivity in twoprovinces, but it shows a negative and significant effect on the total productivity ofproduction factors in two provinces. Therefore, in order to increase the level of productionand improve productivity, different industries should include in their long-term plan bypreparing the necessary infrastructure for the introduction of technology suitable for theconditions and structure of the industry and providing new courses to prepare thespecialized workforce with new technologies.

        Capital productivity concerns the measurement of management power in making optimal use of capital as one of the important and limited company resources. In companies with highly efficient capital productivity, stocks are expected to offer higher returns and the explanatory power of the models proposed to predict stock returns is assumed to increase. The purpose of this study was, thus, to examine the extent to which capital productivity might influence the explanatory power of stock market predictive models and to scrutinize this viable effect at various stages of corporate life cycle. The Operating Profit Ratio (ROIC) was used to operationalize Capital productivity, the Tripartite Factor Model (Fama & Franch, 1993) and the Pentagonal Factor Model (Fama & Franch, 2013) were employed to predict stock returns and corporate life cycle was categorized via the Dickinson Cash Flow (2011). The research sample comprised 110 companies with specific descriptive characteristics selected from among all those listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during a ten-year period from 2005 to 1394. The results of the hypothesis testing analyses demonstrated that capital productivity affects the relationship between market factor and risk-free growth at all stages of the life cycle, but size was found significantly correlated with risk merely at the maturity stage of the life cycle.

        Increasing the shareholders’ wealth is the main objective of every company. The success of a company is largely based on the financial manager's ability in establishing the capital productivity of the company. The amount of working capital affects the amount of liquidity and capital productivity of the company. This study investigated the effect of aggressive working capital management strategy on economic performance with emphasis on the capital productivity management based on the annual financial statements for the period of time between 2008 to 2013 one hundred and two companies were evaluated. The measurement standard for working capital strategy variable is (the working capital net ratio), the company's capital productivity (EVA, REVA, MVA and the company's value). The panel data was used to analyize the hypotheses. The results showed that the effect of working capital strategy on EVA, REVA with greater capital productivity was high but capital productivity on the relationship between the strategy of working capital and market value added and firm value did n't have significant effect.   Manuscript profile

        Capital productivity concerns the measurement of managerial capacity to make optimal use of capital as one of the company's most important and restricted resources and accounting conservatism is one of the qualitative characteristics of accounting information. More conservative companies are expected to have lower cost of capital and the increase in capital productivity is assumed to intensify this relationship. The present study explored the interactive effect of capital productivity and accounting conservatism on cost of capital in Tehran and Istanbul stock exchange markets. Accounting conservatism was measured as the chronological asymmetry between the profit and relative market value of stock to book value while capital productivity was operationalized in terms of the ratio of operating profit to the difference between total equity and debt in cash and short-term investment. The research sample comprised 118 companies listed in Tehran and 194 companies listed in Istanbul stock exchange markets over a period of 10 years from 2006 to 2015. The findings revealed that accounting conservatism, as the ratio of market to book value, was negatively correlated with cost of capital both in Tehran and Istanbul stock exchange markets; capital productivity was found to have a synergistic effect on this relationship. Additionally, accounting conservatism, as chronological asymmetry, was found to be negatively correlated with cost of capital in Istanbul stock exchange market. Manuscript profile
