Abstract :
Nowadays, the importance of human resource is very evident and crucial for the organizations. The proper use of human resources has been considered very valuable for the government. In other words human being is both the means and target for development. The research method was descriptive survey correlations. To gather the data three questionnaires were used namely: Human resources strategy (Lepak & Snell); manpower productivity (Hersey& Goldsmith); cost leadership strategy (Dess & Davis). The Cronbach’s alphas respectively were 0.94, 0.92 and 0.93. To analyze the data structural equation modeling and PLS software were used. The results showed that according to the value obtained for the path coefficient and T-statistics, commitment, productivity and collaboration Strategy associated with labor productivity, and cost leadership strategy as moderating variable, moderate the relationship between human resources and manpower productivity.
