Introduction:.
The family as a social institution plays a key role in institutionalizing, accepting and promoting the culture of productivity. Since the origin of productivity is the literature of economics and management, it has not been able to establish its conceptual links with the "family" institution. Thus, it is necessary to explain the concept of "family productivity" in the intra-family dimension. This research seeks to extract it in the form of a model by calculating the components, dimensions and different conceptual layers of family productivity.
Method: In this way, by Apllying thematic analysis with library studies and interviews with experts, he has analyzed the topic with an emphasis on the field of "Economic Productivity".
Findings: According to the conceptual model, the family has inputs that transform it into various economic and social outputs in the family and society in the context of action and decision making. But every type of decision that the family makes has effects and consequences for its inputs and economic and social capital. The analysis of the economic productivity model of the family shows that the culture of productivity carries with it a meaning system and imposes on economic behaviors. In this way, by combining the requirements of the family and the culture of productivity, the desired economic behaviors are separated by the fields of action (including work and production, capital and physical assets, government subsidies, credit, loans, necessary expenses, welfare and luxury expenses, savings, investment, charitable expenses , intergenerational transfers, debt and debt, risk management and insurance, taxation, allocation and recycling).
Discussion: Productive decisions will increase the input level and non-productive decisions will reduce or waste resources, and this feedback loop will always continue. The components of the productivity culture in the family can be repeated and practiced, and this culture can be easily transmitted through the family. In their big and small decisions, people can determine the level of productivity and even witness the consequences of their choices. Also, the analysis of behaviors shows that the three pillars of need, capability and belief are actually the intervention levers in determining the economic productivity of the family, which causes the diversity of the economic lifestyle of the families.
