Descriptive and casual comparative research design are used to determine the relationship of organizational productivity (dependent variable) with independent variables (teamwork, team trust, working environment, training and development, and esprit de corps). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression models have been used to analyze the data. Organizational productivity is positively correlated with all independent variables and regression results exhibit significant and positive beta coefficients. It is observed that working environment is the most powerful factor for organizational productivity and employees’ satisfaction and training and development is the least influencing factor among all factors. Nepalese commercial banks also take into consideration team trust, teamwork, and espirit de corps because these factors have positive impact on organizational productivity.

The beta coefficients of pay remuneration, belonging, chain of command, training and development, employee performance and job security are positive and significant. According to respondents, increased size of the banks is the most important fact and improve employees’ satisfaction is the least important fact to merge of Nepalese banks.
