A Study of the Factors Affecting Productivity at the Naval Air Rework Facilities.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting productivity at Naval Air Rework Facilities (NARFs). Specific points addressed were number and identity of factors, internal consistency and usefulness in predicting perceived productivity. A seventy-two item questionnaire was administered to a random sample of NARF production-line employees. Five hundred thirty-four cases were factor analyzed. Eleven factors extracted were discussed. Eight of these were used to develop a linear multiple regression model to predict perceived productivity. Approximately twenty percent of the variance in perceived productivity was predicted, with five independent variables (factors) - work scheduling supervision, overtime, training quality and equipment. These factors generally substantiated those found in current literature. (Author)
