Abstract

The main objective of this study was to identify and explain the factors affecting the efficiency of human resources in the processing industry (rice) in Guilan Province. The statistical population consisted of officials and personnel working in rice mills that had at least a high school diploma and experts on rice processing industry in Agriculture Organization that, according to the relevant authorities, 3750 people in rice workshops and 130 people were working in the Agricultural Jihad Organization in Guilan Province. Out of them, a sample of 350 participants were selected by stratified and cluster sampling. To collect data, labor productivity questionnaire and ACHIEVE model containing 24 items were used. The reliability of this study was estimated by a Cronbach's alpha, which was equal to 0.90 and was indicative of high reliability of the questionnaire. To analyze the data, one sample t-test was employed using SPSS software. The results of the study revealed that employees had the required ability, understanding, organizational support, motivation, feedback, reliability, and compatibility. The results also suggested that there was not statistically significant difference between men and women in terms of the productivity of human resources. Human resources productivity was different between different age groups. According to the average productivity of human resources in different age categories, the average productivity of human resources among people ranging in age from 20-30 years was more likely than others. Analysis of variance in comparing the average of the four groups (diploma, associate degree, undergraduate, and graduate) with a significant level up to 0.05 showed that there was no statistically significant difference between people with different educational levels with the efficiency of human resources.
