Leveraging Self-Management for Enhanced Productivity: Insights from Tehran's Water Sector
Journal Title: Journal of Operational and Strategic Analytics - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This study was undertaken to elucidate the influence of self-management on the productivity levels of personnel within the Water and Wastewater Department, District 2, Tehran, utilizing a descriptive survey method that engaged 119 respondents. The assessment was founded on the administration of meticulously validated questionnaires, with subsequent statistical analysis conducted using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The analysis included the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to confirm the normal distribution of the variables, namely, self-management strategies and productivity levels, and the Pearson-Spearman tests to evaluate correlations. The findings, underscored by Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.879 for self-management strategies and 0.906 for productivity levels, confirmed the hypothesis of a significant positive impact of self-management on workforce productivity. Notably, the natural reward strategy was identified as having the least effect on ameliorating workplace conditions. This investigation contributes to the body of knowledge by highlighting the critical role of self-management practices in enhancing the efficiency of public sector operations. The insights garnered from this study pave the way for the implementation of strategic self-management practices aimed at boosting productivity within public sector entities.
