LABOR EFFICIENCY: A STUDY IN THE PAPER MILL

Abstract

Organizations achieve their goals thanks to their employees. Therefore, those who have the strongest effect on the efficiency of the organization are those who work. It is a desired situation for businesses to use their production resources rationally without wasting production resources and to obtain the most output with the least input. By conducting a survey on labor productivity valuation in a paper manufacturing enterprise, 23 questions were answered. The first 4 of these questions aimed to measure the demographic characteristics of the personnel, and the other 19 questions were applied to 126 people to measure the effect of the change in the factory and working conditions on the personnel productivity. The excell program was used in the analysis of the survey, and frequency distribution graphics were used. In addition to the frequency and percentage values of the obtained data, 13 hypotheses were established and the results of the t-test and one-way analysis of variance (One Way ANOVA) and Pearson chi-square test were also given. As a result, it has been seen that the work of the personnel is not appreciated most of the time, but they are warned in case the work is interrupted or not completed. According to the personnel, success is determined as meeting the production targets. It has been revealed that age does not affect labor productivity, but gender affects labor productivity. The most important factor affecting the productivity of employees has been wages.
