Nono. Good question. Normally it's output per working hour

And they measure output by taking what...the profit from the company? That seems reasonable.
A lot of times when something is measured it gets twisted. Like for instance, if output is measured in terms of how many pages of a report you write, and you find ways to pad it, to make it extra long.
I'm sure we all remember as kids who had to write a 3 page report. Hello large fonts and wide margins!
