In the increasingly competitive global business environment, organisations are compelled to invest in capacity development to be more productive, innovative, and generally more competitive and improve in employees productivity. Productivity is the ratio of outputs to inputs. It refers to the volume of output produced from a given volume of inputs or resources. If the employees become more productive, then it has become more efficient since productivity is an efficiency measure. (Samnani. Al-Karim, 2014). Employee productivity growth is essential to the organisation because it increases the organisation profit. A study conducted by Chiang, (2018) in Hong Kong, to meet the standard of organisation, employees need a pleasant working environment that allows them to
work freely without any problems that may restrain them from performing up to the level of their full potential. Thus, those employees that experience bad working environment occupy in a decrease in productivity and experience with failure.
