<![CDATA[Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of capital and labor on the productivity of brick businesses in Padang Ulak Tanding District. Research Methodology: Using a quantitative approach, data were collected by distributing questionnaires to a sample of 127 respondents, selected via simple random sampling from a total population of 187 brick business owners and employees. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: The empirical results demonstrate that capital (X1) has a positive and significant effect on business productivity, indicated by a regression coefficient of 0.556 (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Similarly, Labor (X2) exhibits a positive and significant impact on productivity, with a regression coefficient of 0.427 (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Simultaneously, the F-test confirms that both capital and labor significantly influence brick business productivity (F = 146.161, p = 0.000 < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings conclude that higher financial allocation for equipment, raw materials, or capacity expansion plays a vital role in accelerating production output and efficiency. Limitations: This study is limited to the Padang Ulak Tanding District, meaning the results cannot be widely generalized to other regions. Culturally and academically. Contributions: This research contributes to microeconomics by providing empirical evidence on SME production elements in the post-pandemic recovery era.]]>
