Importance The country's labor productivity in the modern Russian economy has become significant, as it is a key condition for socio-economic development, stable economic growth and enhancing competitiveness of the national economy.
     Objectives The study primarily focuses on identifying and structuring the factors that have an impact on the productivity growth, analyzing the current labor productivity at Russian companies, and developing practical recommendations.
     Methods
I employed various methods of information gathering and processing, including the analysis of appropriate laws and regulations, official statistical data, national companies' public statements and reports, and public domain material. The study also draws on the systems approach, comparative and statistical analyses.
     Results I have analyzed modern trends related to labor productivity growth in the Russian economy. I offer a classification of the key factors affecting the labor productivity, and review the influence of technical, technological, organizational, psychological, social, and ecological factors on labor productivity. The classification helps understand the most effective and correct directions and methods of labor productivity increase. Moreover, all these factors are structured into levels (the worker, the enterprise, and other stakeholders). The structuring defines the primary functions of each participant in the labor productivity increase.
     Conclusions and Relevance The research has ascertained the fundamental role and great importance of organizational factors in labor productivity growth. It identifies a range of problems and major objectives at the level of the country and individual enterprises. Solving the problems will create prerequisites for labor efficiency increase in the modern Russian economy.
