MODERATORS
On a national level, in macro-economics, productivity is GDP divided by total hours worked (for money).
I'd say that a high productivity generally means working less hard, because machines do the tough bits. A high productivity requires a very high skilled labor force, using a lot of machines and robots. It's by definition an efficient and effective use of labor, though one could ask pointed questions about environmental degradation.
