Human factor is a key factor in achieving goals of an organization; the existence of an organization depends on the productivity of its people. An employee can be said as productive not only be estimated from his/her educational level or long working period, however, he/she can be said as productive if he/she has great output and optimum quality by using available production resources. An employee's productivity level is stimulated by needs and this kind of stimulation is known as motivation. The decrease in production activity experienced by the company is caused by a great number of employees working below standard. This research is conducted with a hope that the company is able to perform an evaluation related to the decrease of employees' working productivity. This research uses a quantitative approach equipped with a qualitative approach, which is, explaining data that have been composed in meaningful sentences which can be composed into conclusions. To be precise, this research is an exploratory research, which explains the positions of examined variables and also the relations among them. The population of this research is employees of PT.
