Evaluation of Human Resource Productivity Dimensions Based on ACHIEVE Model: a study on personnel of hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences

Productivity and performance improvement of human resource, as the most valuable asset and resource in the organization, have a greater impact on success and productivity of the organization than any other factors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dimensions of human resource productivity based on ACHIEVE model among personnel of hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences.

This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was performed on 358 clinical and nonclinical personnel in 15 teaching hospitals of Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2019, selected by stratified relative randomized sampling. To collect data, the standard ACHIEVE questionnaire was used. Data analysis was done using one-way ANOVA, T-test and Tukey post hoc and through SPSS version 22 software.

Mean score of human resource productivity was 2.8 which was in a moderate condition. The highest and lowest mean scores of productivity were respectively related to environment (3.38) and motivation (2.30) dimensions. There was a significant difference in productivity based on gender, occupational group and educational level.

It seems that creating performance-based management systems and fair rewards and benefits systems, as well as continuous performance appraisal sessions between employees and their supervisors could be effective in increasing motivation.
