Abstract

Health is one of the most important aspects of human life, since it enables an individual to engage in a variety of activities, including economic activities. The term health in this context refers not only to physical health, but also to mental health, which is the key to productivity. A person may have a strong body and sufficient stamina, but without happiness and clear motivation, they will lack performance, which in the long term could refer to self-development and a desire to learn. As stated, physical health will aid in the completion of the project, while mental health will aid in the development of innovation, the establishment of new procedures, and the generation of ideas. This research will examine how health serves as one of the most influential determinants of competitiveness. It will result in potential competitiveness in a given field via productivity, which is dependent on two characteristics of health. This article demonstrates that physical health contributes to productivity, while mental health contributes to creativity and invention. This study suggests focusing on health facilities and health policy in the future to assist the improvement of health quality, and so establishing competitiveness, since this factor will help shape competitiveness over the long term.
