Well matched leadership should be used depending upon the type and size of organization Viz. bureaucratic, autocratic, benevolence etc. It will help to guide the employees in right direction. A wrong leadership technique will play havoc in the organization. No Ring Master attitude please!!!

Technology:

Again depending upon the manpower size appropriate software should be used. Such software should be time saving and avoid multiple documentations work. Complicated software or irrelevant technology will increase the work load and thereby cause low productivity

Resistance to Change:

It is also one of the factors that prevail in the mind of the employees towards certain situation, technology, people. It happens due some type of insecurity. E.g. Manager hiring less competent executive for a vacant position.

Lack of flexibility:

An all time rigid schedules, deadlines create negative impact in the mind of employees. It will refrain them to give their 100 % efforts towards the assigned work.

Unfocused Employee:

Instability in thought process and lack of focus also affects the productivity of the employees. So there should be proper training given to make employee more focused towards their job.

Irregularities:

Being unpunctual, frequent absenteeism also contributes to low productivity. Proper measures should be taken to correct irregularities with respect to timings, absenteeism and consultation should be given to the required people in case required.

Work Nature:

Organization that ignores employee engagement activities does face poor productivity. Also less challenging work creates monotonous environments.

Wrong Hiring Decisions:

Hiring decisions a very first step associated with organizations and management. A wrong tool with respect to prospective employee assessment will again distort hiring of right candidate. Wrong Job specifications concerning years of experience, qualification, competence skill required will only add to wrong hiring decisions
