Abstract

Due to constraints in the agricultural sector, improve the productivity factors of production is the important factor for achieving sustainable economic growth. The aim of this study was to measure total factor productivity (silkworm egg, labor and mulberry) and affecting Variables Intercommunity, Motive, Job satisfaction, Interest, Scientism, innovation in productivity of sericulture units. The study sample is 1150 sericulture in Mazandaran province that was calculated with using a sample size of 240 sericultures. Sampling was multi-stage cluster and samples were selected randomly from each cluster. The main collecting tool in this study was a questionnaire. For measuring productivity of total production factors, the Cobb-Duglas and to identify factors affecting on productivity, of multiple regression was used. The production factors in Mazandaran Sericulture units are including the Caspian silkworm egg, labor and mulberry leaves. The results showed that average productivity in Mazandaran province was 0.787 and factors such as Motive, Scientism, Innovation  and With a confidence level 0.95% it is significant, and Variables Interest, Intercommunity and Job satisfaction With a confidence level 0.95%  not significant relationship in productivity of sericulture units.
