Abstract :

The material interests of personnel significantly affect the productivity and quality of services provided. Understanding these interests is very important for organizations that aim to increase employee motivation and performance. This research aims to design a human resource productivity model based on the material interests of personnel. The research is exploratory-applied in terms of its purpose and survey-correlation in terms of its method. The research was conducted in a qualitative-quantitative manner. The statistical population in the qualitative part is university professors and fire department managers in Iraq. The statistical population in the quantitative part consists of all fire department employees in Iraq, which is considered to be an unlimited number, so the sample size is 384 people based on the Cochran formula. The research tool is a researcher-made questionnaire. Data analysis in the qualitative part is the theme method and in the quantitative part is structural equations in the PLS software. The results of the study indicate that in the qualitative part, 5 main dimensions have been extracted, which include fair and competitive salaries and wages, bonuses and fringe benefits, job security and financial stability, financial growth opportunities through performance, and support for work-life balance with economic benefits. In the quantitative part, the overall fit of the research model based on the GOF formula was obtained as 0.65, which indicates a strong fit. The first and second-order factor loadings have been confirmed with 99% confidence.
