Abstract: Resumen En este artículo se examina el comportamiento de la productividad laboral en Colombia, en el periodo 1975-2016, desde dos perspectivas o enfoques metodológicos: el espacio referencial y la desagregación temporal y sectorial. Desde la primera perspectiva, se concluye que el crecimiento de la inversión por empleado superó —con excepción de dos anos— el aporte de la productividad; es decir, no se presentaron eventos innovadores que reflejen la concepción schumpeteriana, que abarquen toda la economía de manera persistente. Con la segunda perspectiva metodológica se aporta evidencia que confirma las grandes diferencias de productividades entre sectores en el país, el fenómeno de la heterogeneidad, y se concluye que aquellos sectores que ostentan las mayores eficiencias son los que emplean menos trabajadores. Abstract In this article the behavior of work productivity in Colombia is examined, in the period between 1975-2016, from two perspectives or methodological approaches: space of reference and time and sector disaggregation. From the perspective of the first, it is concluded that the growth in investment per employee surpassed – except for two years- the contribution of productivity. In other words, there were no innovative events that reflect the Schumpeterian conception, that encompass the economy as a whole in a persistent manner. From the second methodological perspective, evidence that confirms the large differences in productivity among the sectors in the country, the phenomenon of heterogeneity, is contributed. It is concluded that those sectors that show the greatest efficiencies are those that employ the least number of workers.
