Investigating Factors Affecting Human Resource Productivity in Government Organizations

This article examines the factors affecting human resource productivity in government organizations. Due to the endless innovations and changes that we are facing in the world, successful organizations have taken special measures to use all the intellectual and practical capacities of their employees. In today’s world, attention to human resources as the axis of change and the basic element of any organization that operates under the influence of information and communication is more and more felt. Also, the idea of empowering, motivating and involving human resources is considered as one of the strategic and vital programs of managing. In this article, the factors affecting the increase of human resource productivity and the factors that reduce the productivity of human resource in government organizations have been fully studied.

The environmental and resource productivity as the key element of green economy in EU

The purpose of this study was to analyze the indicators of environmental and resource productivity of European countries to identify leaders and outsiders and study their trends over recent decades. The results of the analysis showed that the indicators are characterized by uneven development, due to the characteristics of countries and their green policies. The key indicators of the Europe 2020 policy have been used for the analysis, namely resource productivity, greenhouse gas emissions per capita, recycling rate of municipal waste, eco-innovation index, final energy consumption in households. Linear trends for the period 1995-2019 with indication of trend equations were constructed for each indicator. The slope of the functions has been analyzed in order to identify the dynamics of trends. According to the results of the analysis, all indicators except greenhouse gas emissions per capita were characterized by positive dynamics, ie increased. It has been determined that the problematic indicator for EU countries is final energy consumption in households, which requires further detailed research.

Exploring the Sustainability of Resource Flow and Productivity Transition in Vietnam from 1978 to 2017: MFA and DEA-Based Malmquist Productivity Index Approach

Resource efficiency is a primary policy goal in many developing countries that are resources suppliers. This study performed a first try to explore the resource productivity and efficiency of an emerging world factory, Vietnam, by applying an improved economy-wide material flow analysis (MFA) integrated with a data envelopment analysis (DEA)-based Malmquist productivity index approach (MDEA). Resource flows from 1978 to 2017, and the corresponding utilization efficiency considering the unexpected environmental outputs, as well as productivity were explored in depth. The results highlighted a positive correlation between rapid growth among domestic material consumption (DMC), GDP per capita, and material intensity (DMC/capita) in Vietnam during the last four decades. Meanwhile, the resource productivity (USD/DMC) increased from 82.4 USD/ton to 125 USD/ton (2017), presenting a much slower pace than that of Japan and China. The IPAT-based decomposition analysis highlighted the contribution of rising affluence (94%) and population (21%) to the rapid growing DMC, while the technology factor (DMC/GDP) needed to be further enhanced. Finally, the total factor productivity, when comparing between Vietnam, China, South Korea, and Japan, showed that, on the one hand, the Vietnamese economy has strongly been changed in a positive direction with EFFCH 1.061 and TECHCH 1.046 during the last four decades. One the other hand, Vietnam is still material intensive and has low material productivity. Our analytical results recommend Vietnam to strengthen technology innovation and aim for efficiency enhancement through closely coordinated policies on sustainable resource consumption, carbon reduction, and economic growth, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 (SDGs 2030).

Ownership Characteristics,Corporate Social Responsibility, Resource Productivity And Firm Performance: An Empirical Study

Corporate governance continues to be at the forefront as evinced by some of the recent incidents at organisations such as Tata Sons, Yes Bank and ICICI bank. Traditionally, ownership characteristics have been considered as close substitutes representing corporate governance, considering that board processes and activity do not yield themselves to much scrutiny beyond a few media reports and analysis. The research article undertakes a study of ownership, corporate social responsibility(CSR) and resource productivity in the Indian context. Using a sample of 900 firms from the non-financial domain, the study uses multivariate regression to identify the effect on market based measure of firm performance. Results indicate that all the ownership variables have a positive and significant influence on market based metrics of organisations. However, the CSR orientation or intent does not indicate any impact on organisation’s market based metric. The resource productivity, on the hand is strongly positive, indicating that markets recognise, intuitively the impact of competencies and capabilities of people. For practitioners, the implications are the quest to identify further levers of strategic and competitive advantage since the governance indicators have merely explained a small part of firm performance.

PENGARUH KEPEMIMPINAN TRILOGI, KEPUASAAN KERJA DAN KOMITMEN ORGANISASI TERHADAP PRODUKTIVITAS SDM (STUDI: KOPERASI DAN UMKM KUD KARYA MUKTI PROVINSI JAMBI)

The purpose of this study was to describe (1) the influence of trilogy leadership on human resource productivity, (2) the effect of satisfaction on human resource productivity, (3) the effect of organizational commitment on human resource productivity. This research is a quantitative research, descriptive analysis method and method of analysis of the coefficient of determinants. The population is employees of KUD Karya Mukti Cooperative and UMKM Jambi Province, the sample technique is stratified random and sampling. The method used was questionnaire data, while the data analysis technique used simultaneous, partial, and linear regression data. The results of this study use a significant result of 0.005 indicating that there is a negative influence on trilogy leadership with the variable of human resource productivity. In addition, there is also an effect of job satisfaction on the productivity of human resources which has a negative and insignificant effect. Then there is organizational commitment that has a positive and significant effect on human resource productivity. Keywords: trilogy leadership, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, human resource productivity
