SFC Management and Productivity
This is an excerpt from the paper...
The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated by SFC management with the firm's productivity, in order to identify the causes of the observed deterioration in productivity, and to recommend to the firm's senior management actions which may be initiated to correct the problem. It was found that both professional skills levels and job satisfaction levels have positive effects on analytical, professional, and managerial productivity at SFC. It was also found that both professional skills levels and job satisfaction levels are positively affected by formal education, but that professional skills levels and job satisfaction levels are not affected by either formal taskrelated training or relevant job experience at SFC. It was found further that, among analytical, professional, and managerial personnel as SFC, higher levels of professional skills are associated with higher levels of job satisfaction. Lastly, it was found that, since 1988, levels of professional skills, job satisfaction, formal education, and formal taskspecific training had all deteriorated at SFC.It was concluded that improvement in both professional skills and job satisfaction among analytical, professional, and managerial employees at SFC should be promoted, as each of these factors affects the productivity of such personnel. Although the perceptions of the research sample were that formal taskspecific training and relevant job experience did not contribute to higher l

action levels at SFC increase, as formal taskspecific training levels increase.
f. It is hypothesized that job satisfaction levels at SFC increase, as relevant job experience levels increase.
3. Research question number three:
It is hypothesized that job satisfaction levels at SFC increase, as professional skills levels increase.
Research Framework
To test the reseach hypotheses through the application of correlational analysis would have required the existence of actual time series data related to (1) analytical, professional, and managerial productivity, (2) professional skills levels, (3) job satisfaction levels, (4) formal education levels, (4) taskspecific training levels, and (5) relevant job experience levels at SFC. Such time series data were not available. Therefore, the research hypotheses were tested on the basis of perceptions of the managerial personnel at SFC with respect to the appropriate variable relationships which were expressed in the research hypotheses. The distribution of the managerial perceptions with respect to the variable relationships expressed in the research hypotheses were tested for statistical significance through the application of goodness of fit chi square analy
