The study adopts the quantitative analysis of management factors that can impact the labour productivity of the tea pluckers such as operational management factors, human resource management factors, and financial management factors.

Therefore understanding the relationships between the management factors and the labour productivity of tea pluckers is more important for tea pluckers, tea smallholders, tea exporters, and policymakers. Further, it will support the promotion of certain management factors by directing scarce resources, especially to tea pluckers. Therefore the relevant authorities and decision-makers in Sri Lanka’s government should make effective policies for tea pluckers, smallholders, investors, tea factories, tea institutions, and societies. As a result, then they can invest and pay high attention to the tea pluckers. Moreover, these results will be relevant for developing countries, since tea pluckers are one of the major drivers of economic development.
