Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to represent a methodological approach for conducting an empirical study of factors for improving the labour productivity of operational employees in industrial enterprises. The methods are based on a specifically designed questionnaire for anonymous reply in order to evaluate three groups of influencing factors in two dimensions –their degree of influence and their current status in the company. The subsequent analysis, performed on the next stage, enables outlining of most important influencing factors, on one side, and the best and least developed factors, on the other side. The practical implications of those findings could be found in adjusting the overall corporate policy for organization and management of the production activity of the company, especially if this is tailored with the demographic characteristics of the staff –employees‘ age, gender, educational level and professional experience. The approach is approbated in three furniture production companies from Ruse region (Bulgaria) in 2019. The type of the pilot survey is indicative, but the data is processed quantitively and that allows defining of the main steps inthe procedure for elaborating a statistically significant study on that topic in the future.
