The objective of this study is to identify the variables that impact worker productivity, with a specific emphasis on the role of information and communication technologies. This study employs a panel data regression analysis technique, with a sample of 34 provinces and a time series spanning 8 years, from 2015 to 2022. The research findings indicate that the presence of physical capital stock, human capital stock, trade openness, labor wages, and the number of households with internet connection have a significant positive impact on labor productivity in Indonesia. Conversely, the proportion of the population that possesses or manages cellphones has a substantial negative impact on labor productivity. Hence, the utilization of ICT must be complemented by a high level of digital proficiency in order to enhance productivity.
