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.
