This paper aims to explain the factors that influence work productivity and how they influence it. The proposed theoretical framework highlights the work environment factors described by leaderships and training & learning mediated by teamwork depicted in team cohesiveness and team member trust. These factors further explain work productivity. The empirical validity was carried out by conducting a survey using a Likert scale type questionnaire on employees in a mining contractor company in Indonesia. The data obtained are analyzed using the Structural Equation Model. The analysis results are returned to support our theory which shows a significant and positive mediating effect of teamwork consisting of team member trust and team cohesiveness. Leadership, training & learning have a significant positive effect on team cohesiveness and team member trust and subsequently have a significant effect on productivity.
