Philosophy of work

As far as this one goes, it's not deniable that much of one's "work" doesn't actually translate into productive time (from every efficiency perspective, being able to complete the same "tasks" within a shorter time-frame is productive, which is why "working hours" arguments are stupid from any serious employment productivity perspective, and usually just the source of anti-intellectual arguments and information).
Much as how people working tend to grossly 'overestimate' the actual time spent "working" as well. So I was curious if anyone has anything akin to a philosophy of work, business, management and so on which they believe, at least in theory" would remedy these problems and ensure the most productivity as well as awareness and intellectual or mathematical accountability for actual productivity rather than simple whims or guessing at what "work" was actually accomplished within a certain time frame, and where most of the time was actually used at or spent at to begin with.
Sadly, my layman judgment has been that most people will not be people whom one can get a serious reply from, whether due to selfishness, incompetance, apathy, lack of personal or fiscal accountability, and so on; most of the time, one will just get idiotic stereotypes, clichés, and loaded opinions about "work" and "business" of a loaded and usually negative and unappreciative variety. As well as spurious "job titles" which often don't equate or attempt to substantiate what types of actual "work" are being done to begin with, and what types of faculaties, skills, talents, etc one is actually using in said "work" to begin with, or the contextualization of any "job title" in any meaningful degree of comparison or "ranking" within the context of one's likewise ambigiously, if not dishonestly defined industry.
