Abstract. This study sought to determine the impact of ICT on the labor productivity of Palestinian businesses. This research incorporated all of the in-dustrial sector data from Palestine published between 2013 and 2018, for a total of 9,972 observations. Using ICT indicators such as the availability of computer consulting services and computer software as independent variables, the varia-bility of labor productivity were captured. According to the findings, increasing expenditures on software and computer consulting services enhances labor productivity. It was demonstrated that the West Bank work force is more pro-ductive than its counterpart in the Gaza Strip. The results recommend that busi-nesses utilize ICT to improve efficiency. Finally, some intriguing policy impli-cations for the growth of the Palestinian manufacturing sector are proposed, while the limitations are acknowledged. Keywords: Information and communication technology, Labor productivity, Palestine
