The main objective of this research was to determine whether production feedback and/or standards could be provided singly or jointly to operators to improve worker productivity in a repetitive production task. Only the combination of production feedback on quantity and quality in the presence of an assigned hard-task production standard had a significant positive effect on worker productivity, both in terms of production quantity and quality output. The percentage increases in quantity and quality output were 13& and 15&, respectively, compared to the control group. All the subjects who were provided with this experimental condition had accepted the assigned standard and 75& of them showed innovation(s) in task performance. The interaction between production feedback and standard was highly significant, in terms of both quantity and quality. The provision of an assigned hard-task production standard alone failed to improve worker productivity; monetary incentive added no incremental performance gain. Quantity output was highest in the last or fourth (15-minute) quarter, whereas the production quality output increased progressively from the first to the fourth quarter. |
