Abstract

Evaluation of performance and productivity and the process of its changes over time is considered essential in the process of improvement in organizations, production, industrial and service units. Regarding the estimation of productivity and productivity changes over time, different models, methods, approaches and indicators have been extracted and presented in various studies, one of the most important, common and widely used of them is the Malmquist Productivity Index. On the other hand, during production processes, undesirable products and outputs are produced simultaneously with desirable products. Therefore, with the development and expansion of the Malmquist Productivity Index, an index called the Malmquist Luenberger was introduced, which took into account the undesirable outputs while seeking to reduce them, and at the same time aimed at expanding the desirable outputs. Therefore, the current research and review paper, based on the PRISMA methodology, with the aim of a structured and systematic analysis of articles and researches on this subject. This research is of a review type that is conducted through searching in domestic and foreign databases such as Academic Jihad Scientific Information, Scopus, Science Direct, Elsevier and Google Scholar in the period from 1980 to 2022 with the approach of selecting the most important, most valid and prominent papers and Internal and external scientific and applied research has been carried out. The results of the current research show the existing scientific gaps and future suggestions regarding productivity evaluation using the Malmquist/Malmquist Luenberger Productivity Index.
