Identifying and Prioritizing Effective Factors in Improving Human Resources Productivity in Organizations Using Group Best-Worst Method

In today’s competitive environment, it is important to identify and manage effective factors for employee productivity. This study aims to identify and prioritize effective factors for improving employee productivity using a group version of the best-worst method (i.e., GBWM) at RAPCO Company. First, the factors were examined based on an in-depth review of the relevant literature, and then divided into individual, professional, and organizational aspects, taking into account the viewpoints of experts. Then, the final weighting was determined using the GBWM. The result shows that the occupational factor ranks first among the main aspects with a coefficient weight of 0.655. In addition, “job satisfaction” (0.279), “reward and promotion tools” (0.154), and “job security and mental peace” (0.149) ranked first to third. In addition, “establishing useful working relationships with others”, “resourcefulness", and “professional ethics” were identified as the least important effective factors in improving employee productivity at RAPCO Company. In general, consideration of the importance of ranking and effectiveness of key factors in improving human resource productivity by managers of manufacturing companies leads to better employee performance.
