Having no useful outcome (13)

I believe the answer is:

nonproductive

(Other definitions for nonproductive that I've seen before include "Not giving results" , "involved in 10 [INDUSTRIAL ACTION]?" , "utterly pointless" , "Presumably like white-collar workers" , "Sterile" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
