Human resource development and achievement motivation affecting work efficiency of state enterprise employees under the Ministry of Transport

Abstract

This research aimed to 1. compare the work efficiency of employees of a state enterprise under the Ministry of Transport classified by personal factors and 2. study the human resource development and achievement motivation that affect the work efficiency of employees of a state enterprise under the Ministry of Transport. The sample consisted of 403 employees of a state enterprise under the Ministry of Transport. Data were collected by questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistics to test the research hypotheses, including Independent Samples t-Test, One-Way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis.

The research results found that employees of a state enterprise under the Ministry of Transport, with personal factors such as different ages, had different work efficiency in terms of volume, time and cost. This reflects that age differences affect work efficiency due to the characteristics of each age group. It was also found that factors such as the need for power, the need for achievement, education and the need for affiliation had a positive effect on work efficiency. The Adjusted R Square value was .592, which could explain 59.20 percent of the variance in work efficiency of employees of a state enterprise under the Ministry of Transport, with a statistical significance. This reflects that employees with the authority to make decisions, control work and have leadership tend to want to achieve work goals. Receiving appropriate education and being accepted by coworkers and supervisors motivates employees to work efficiently. Therefore, the organization should allow employees to have a role in decision-making and assign important tasks to promote self-development.
