Abstract: Employee recreation is among the tools, which can be appropriately used to increase employee productivity. In developing countries, both its insufficient use in workplaces, and a lack of academic studies and resources have led to inadequate knowledge and awareness about employee recreation. In this regard, the aim of this study was to test the applicability of employee recreation and its impact on employee productivity through a comprehensive recreation program. The research was carried out according to the Solomon Four Group Design. An employee recreation program covering 6 days a week was used as the intervention. The program was implemented for 6 weeks. The research group consisted of 101 employees of a medium-sized workplace in an Organized Industrial Zone. Significant differences were found in both within-group and between-group comparisons. As a result of the study, it was found that the employee recreation program had a large and positive effect on employee productivity.
