Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing employee productivity and efficiency in the IT sector in Chennai, with a focus on motivation, resource availability, communication, learning and development, and work-life balance. The research employed a descriptive research design and collected data through a structured questionnaire from 396 IT employees in Chennai's Special Economic Zones using simple random sampling. The findings revealed a higher proportion of male respondents (69.9%) compared to female respondents (30.1%). However, gender did not have a significant effect on the factors influencing productivity and efficiency. Regarding age distribution, the majority of respondents (47.5%) were under 25, followed by the age group of 25-35 (44.7%). Age significantly influenced the perception of whether the organization provides sufficient resources and support and the importance of work-life balance in enhancing productivity. The study highlighted the importance of resource availability, work-life balance, motivation, communication, and continuous learning programs in influencing employee productivity. The findings contribute to understanding the factors influencing employee productivity in the IT sector.
