چکیده
In the world today, sustainable development has become a major concern at both national and international levels.

However, the relationship between productivity improvement and sustainable development is not yet completely understood. Although the crucial importance of productivity to economic sustainability is fully appreciated, there are those who maintain that there is a trade-off between productivity, social development and environmental quality.
