Abstract
Analysis of effective factors on productivity in the DMT Corporation in Isfahan is the purpose of this research. The improvement of productivity, based on two factors; internal and external, is studied.
From an organizational point of view, external factors cannot be controlled, but, internal factors can be managed and improved. So, organizational structure, production management, production process, technical knowledge,
human resources (job satisfaction, proficiency, skill and motivation) and trait cognitive population, are effective factors on productivity. Like many companies, the DMT Co. has some problems and complexities in its industry, and some issues that have remained hidden from a management point of view. Company experts definitely have more information about mentioned problems, because they are aware of working processes. Thus, they can recognize effective factors more easily.
In terms of purpose, this research is functional, and, in terms of research method, it is descriptive metrical. The statistical population of the research consists of all 75 experts in the company, which shows high precision. Data
collection has 2 steps: First is studying the literature of review, and second is the research survey, which requires some questionnaires. The data is collected using 47 questions, which are submitted to company experts in order
to measure their perceptions and attitudes. Respondents were assured complete anonymity, and no names or other means of identification were requested. Employees were asked to fill the questionnaire using a five point Likert scale (1; very low, 2; low, 3; moderate, 4; high and 5; very high). The questionnaire was used with reliability alpha 89% and high validity measured by the group of experts.
Inferential statistics, such as X^2 , and Anova, have been used for analyzing the hypothesis. According to the results of statistical analysis and comparison with previous research, there is a positive relation between productivity and human resource factors, i.e; job satisfaction, motivation, technology, organizational structure, production process, production management, and technical knowledge. On the other hand, there is no positive relation between productivity and factors such as age, education, expert majors, work experience and proficiency of employee.
Variance analysis based on age of respondent, shows that there is no difference between visions. But, according to the analysis of variance based on expert majors and work experience, there is a difference between visions.
