Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to measure the reliability of the questionnaires and the internal consistency of all dimensions was confirmed. The results of the quantitative part of the research also revealed that the effect of Compensation of Staff Services (p = 0.059, β = 0.077) and Organizational Structure (p = 0.052, β = 0.079) on Human Resource Productivity is significant at the level of 1%. While, the impact of variables of Organizational Culture (p = 0.001, β = 0.340), Motivational Factors (p = 0.035, β = 0.086), Leadership Style (p = 0.001, β = 0.391), Staff Training and Empowerment (p = 0.001, β = 0.281), Quality of Human Resources (p = 0.001, β = 0.201), Information Technology (p = 0.001, β = 0.224) and Work Environment (p = 0.001, β = 0.273) is significant on Human Resource Productivity at the level of 5%. The positive path coefficients show indicate that these structures have a positive (direct) effect on human resource productivity.
