Investigating the Effects of Human Capital Dimensions on Productivity of Broiler Farms (Case Study: Ardabil City)

Human beings are generators of wealth, if they are considered as human capital. The basis of the theory of human capital is that the reason for the income difference of individuals is because of the difference in their productivity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of human capital dimensions on the productivity of broiler production. This study was descriptive-correlational and the study population included 105 broiler breeding units in Ardabil city. Based on the willingness to cooperate and the possibility of interviewing, 30 broiler were selected as samples. The interview method has been used for collecting data along with a rigidity questionnaire. In this research, Human Resources Productivity Questionnaire Hersey and Goldsmith (2003) and Nadery and Marimoto Productivity Questionnaire (2009) have been used based on Likert scale. The results of the value retrieval model showed that human cost dimensions have a positive and significant effect on broiler units productivity. Among the dimensions of human capital, the Beta coefficient has the greatest impact on productivity. The value of the determination coefficient obtained by the model also indicates the ability of the model to explain the behavior of the dependent variable by the independent variable.
