Abstract 

The aim of this research is to investigate the predictive relationship of productivity with other variables such as teamwork, technical knowledge, adequate authority to do a job well, fair treatment, and sick days. The methodology used to conduct the study involved conducting a multiple regression to show the relationship between the independent variables and dependent variable. The results of the study showed that teamwork, technical knowledge, adequate authority to do a job well, fair treatment, and sick days have a predictive relationship to productivity. The conclusion from the study is that an organization that strives to improve productivity should focus on teamwork, improving technical knowledge, providing employees adequate, fair treatment, and monitor sick days.

Quantitative Report 5 

Organizations today face an increase amount of competition and find it difficult to be above the competitors. Keeping ahead of the competition requires constantly coming up with innovative ideas to improve on the current ones. The organization can also focus on improving the current ideas and maintaining better than average productivity. Improving productivity is not a straightforward approach as it can be affected by different factors (Delmas & Pekovic, 2018). Some of the factors that can affect productivity include teamwork, employee technical knowledge, authority, fair treatment, and sick days. The investigation of whether the given variables impact productivity is critical to identify the specific variables that impact productivity.

Literature Review 

Employee productivity is a metric that measures the amount of output of a project and the time it takes to complete the project. It measures the amount of goods and services that a group of workers can produce given a certain time (Alam et al., 2020). Productivity can also refer to the staff and the company’s employees using their hours efficiently to undertake relevant and significant tasks that lead to the achievement of company goals and improve revenue. Employee productivity is important because it ensures that a company’s expenditure on wages should be less than the overall revenues produced by the employees (Pradhan & Jena, 2017). Successful organizations know how the productivity of each employee is important and would undertake different strategies to improve it.

There are different factors that affect employee productivity. One of the factors that can impact employee productivity is teamwork which ensures that it can improve the motivation and morale of the group. Working as a team ensures that team members can support each other leading to better results (Ahmad & Manzoor, 2017). The technical knowledge of employees was found to improve the productivity of employees. Having technical knowledge means that employees can engage in difficult tasks successfully. Giving employees responsibility and according them with adequate authority can also improve productivity. According to Ugoani (2020), giving employees responsibility can provide job autonomy and encourage better performance among the employees. Organizations that made use of delegation facilitate adequate authority to the employees.

Other variables that could impact employee productivity were found as the fair treatment of employees and the sick days. According to Massoudi and Hamdi (2017), the perception of an organization fairness had positive outcomes for a company’s employees. Fairness had a positive influence job involvement and negative relationship with turnover intention. These factors had an impact on the productivity of employees. The number of sick days were also found by Dyrbye et al. (2019) to have a negative relationship with the sick days. Some of the causes of too much sick days were an indication of an unhealthy lifestyle, physical and mental stress, and problems in the workplace. These factors could negatively impact the productivity of the employees.

Method 

The research design involved collecting data from the productivity, sav dataset. The dataset was retrieved from a survey of federal employees where they answered various questions. The specific variables chosen for the study were employee productivity ( productivity ) from levels of Teamwork ( teamwork ), Technical Knowledge ( jobknowl ), Adequate Authority to do job well ( jobauthr ), Fair Treatment ( wkrtrtmt ), and Sick Days ( wrkdyssk ). A hypothesis was formulated and the data was analyzed in SPSS. The analysis was conducted using multiple regression. A test of normality was conducted before carrying out the multiple regression to identify whether the data had a normal distribution. The study has a high reliability and validity because of the large sample size. Additionally, the data has a high validity because it undertook an appropriate statistical approach from the analysis of normal distribution to the conducting of multiple regression.

Discussion 

Interpretation of Results 

The analysis of normal distribution was conducted through the Shapiro-Wilk test. The results from the test was greater than 0.05 for the different tests of normality, indicating that it follows a normal distribution (“Testing for Normality Using SPSS Statistics”, 2020). The data could then be analyzed using multiple regression.

Multiple regression was conducted on SPSS and the results were evaluated by analyzing the multiple correlation coefficient and the correlation coefficient for each of the given variables. The multiple correlation coefficient, R, was 0.338 for model 1 and 0.517 for model two. The R-square, coefficient of determination, for model 1 was 0.111 and for model 2 was 0.255. The results showed that the independent variable in model 1 explained 11.1% of the variability in the dependent variable and the independent variables in model 2 explained 25.5% of the variability in the dependent variable (“Multiple Regression Using SPSS Statistics”, 2020).

The results from the ANOVA table were F (1,319) = 41.151, < .0005 for model 1 and F (5,315) = 22.936, < .0005 for model 2. The results indicated that the regression model is a good fit for the data (Cronk, 2019).

The coefficients from the data revealed the following equation that could be used to predict the dependent variable of productivity.

Productivity = 3.767 + (0.343* jobknowl).

Productivity = 2.466 + (0.271*jobknowl) + (-0.046*wkrtrtmt)+ (0.170*teamwork)+

(0.226*jobauthr) + (-0.15*wrkdyssk).

The results from the tests were found to be significant. The null hypothesis was rejected and the conclusion from the study was that there a significant predictive relationship of employee productivity (productivity) from levels of Teamwork (teamwork), Technical Knowledge (jobknowl), Adequate Authority to do job well (jobauthr), Fair Treatment (wkrtrtmt), and Sick Days (wrkdyssk).

Discussion of Results 

The results showed that employment productivity has a relationship with the given variables. There was a positive relationship between employment productivity and technical knowledge and teamwork. There was a negative relationship between employment productivity and fair treatment and sick days. The findings from the study were supported by previous research. Teamwork increases the level of motivation of employees and increases productivity. Technical knowledge improves the skills of employees and their ability to handle projects successfully improving productivity (Eliyana & Ma’arif, 2019). Providing employees with adequate authority was critical in improving their motivation and it could increase productivity (Diamantidis & Chatzoglou, 2019). The results also showed that there is no relationship between fair treatment of employees and employee productivity. A high number of sick days resulted in a reduction in productivity hence a negative relationship between the two variables.

Conclusion 

The study showed that the variables of teamwork, technical knowledge, adequate authority, fair treatment, and sick days had a significant relationship with employee productivity. The implication of the study is that organizations that strive to improve productivity should focus on improving teamwork, technical knowledge, and adequate authority of employees. The organization can also monitor sick days and absenteeism of its employees as it would be an indicator about the productivity of the employees. There was no relationship between fair treatment of employees and productivity. Undertaking these steps should result in significant advantages for the organization.
