Development of Operational Efficiency on The Part of Auto Part Manufacturing Workers

Abstract

The objectives of this research on the development of operational efficiency on the part of auto part manufacturing workers were to 1) study personal factors of employees, supporting factors and development of operational efficiency of the workers 2) study operational efficiency of workers based upon different personal factors Samples included 370 auto part manufacturing workers. Questionnaire was used as a tool to collect the data. Statistics used in this study included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, F-test or one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient. Level of significance used was 0.05.

Outcome of the study revealed that 1) the score on operational efficiency, on average, was highest on a given rating scale. Scores on supporting factors-manufacturing know-how, working environment, work satisfaction were highest while the score on motivation was high. 2) workers with different sex, age, education, position, work experience did differ in their operational efficiency at 0.05 level of significance. 3) Know-how of auto part manufacturing, one of the supporting factors, was negatively correlated to operational efficiency, although the relationship was low (r = -0.149). Job satisfaction was moderately correlated to operational efficiency (r = 0.682). Motivation was minimally correlated to operational efficiency. These were based upon 0.01 level of significance. On the other hand, environmental condition was not correlated to operational efficiency at 0.05 level of significance.
