    Abstract

    In today's changing and complex conditions that govern the administrative, economic and social environment, one of the factors that can help increase efficiency, effectiveness and client satisfaction in the public sector is productivity. For this reason, in this research, an attempt was made to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the productivity of technical experts in rural districts of Gilan province. And at the end of the research, the model should be presented. Therefore, after studying the previous research conducted in this regard and using methods such as interviews with professors and expert experts of the governorates, four variables of individual characteristics, organizational structure, management style and reward system were examined. Its validity and reliability were tested. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was determined that there is a significant relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable of productivity. It was also determined that the variables of management style, organizational structure, reward system and individual characteristics are the most effective factors on the productivity of technical experts in rural areas of Gilan province.

    Chapter One:

    Overview

    1-1 Introduction

    Service organizations in Iran as the support of production organizations play an important role in the success or failure of the production system, and improving their productivity has a great impact on the excellence of the country's economy and the quality of life of the country's people. In addition to this, Iranian society has witnessed significant changes during the last few decades and It has been tremendous in different fields. These changes have affected the governments in terms of extent, complexity, intensity and speed in the age of information explosion and have put increasing pressure on them for more productivity (Smith, 2001, p. 8). So that the mission of management and the main goal of the managers of every organization is the effective and optimal use of various resources and facilities such as labor, capital, materials, energy and information, this has caused that in all countries the efficiency and correct use of the total production factors (including goods and services) has become a national priority in all countries and all societies have come to believe that the continuation of the life of any society is not possible without considering the issue of productivity.

    Productivity is a comprehensive and general concept that increases As a necessity to improve the standard of living, more welfare, peace and comfort of the society, it has always been considered by politicians, economists and statesmen. (Smith, 2001, p. 8). The productivity management process includes measurement, implementation, evaluation and correction (Miller, 2004, pp. 776-785). Measuring productivity in the public sector and improving it is one of the important topics in the management of government organizations, especially regulatory and policy-making bodies. The need to improve productivity at three levels: national, government and organization. Considering the positive effects of productivity measurement in the public sector and its major role in improving productivity, the necessity of a productivity measurement system in Iran's government organizations is inevitable.

    1-2 statement of the problem

    Based on the single article of the law on the establishment of self-sufficient rural cooperatives in the country's villages, approved on 4/14/77, the Islamic Council has given permission to the Ministry of Interior to manage the affairs of villages, a public and non-governmental organization called Dehiari in a self-sufficient manner. be established with an independent legal personality. Due to the assignment of numerous tasks to dehiaris in the field of preparation and implementation of various construction and service projects, participation in the preparation and implementation of rural road projects, the development and improvement of roads, it is necessary for the technical and engineering capabilities of dehiaris to be improved so that the necessary ground for speeding up the implementation of construction projects and optimal use of construction credits is created and dehiaris can provide optimal services to the people. have a significant role in this relationship. And the employment of these forces should be in such a way that it does not burden the organizational body of the village councils and, like a powerful and effective arm, it should shoulder part of the responsibilities of the village councils in technical and engineering matters.

    Since among the production factors, unlike other organizational resources, the human resource factor is known as intelligent and coordinating other factors, and it is also the most important main lever in increasing and decreasing the productivity of the organization, so it has a special position and should be given special attention. Now, if this person is motivated, capable and productive, he can use other resources efficiently and optimally and achieve all kinds of productivity and ultimately make the organization productive, otherwise the stagnation and backwardness of the human resources will be passive and unmotivated. It is a question that can be answered in different institutions and organizations according to their mission and the needs of different employees. Although these needs and factors may be similar, but the intensity and priority of their impact on employee productivity are certainly not the same.

    In general, it should be acknowledged that the activities of any organization are affected by a set of factors, and knowing and examining these factors can help improve activities and achieve organizational goals. On the other hand, considering that productivity is a function of many different factors, these factors are different from one organization to another under the influence of mission, activity, operation, and other such factors, and also the importance and impact of these factors on the productivity of different organizations is not the same, so it is not possible for organizations to be involved in all fields and aspects. Necessarily, in order to achieve the highest level of productivity, it is first necessary to identify and prioritize these factors in terms of importance for the organization according to scientific standards and criteria, then to improve productivity, executive programs and necessary plans should be formulated in the field of factors affecting the productivity of human resources in Iran and the world. So far, many studies have been conducted, and the single goal of all these researches is to reach specific priorities appropriate to each organization in order to improve productivity as much as possible. About 40% of the population of Gilan is rural, and Gilan province ranks fifth among other provinces in terms of the number of villages, so the need to pay attention to villages and planning for village development is undeniable. In this regard, the Gilan Governorate in 1989 recruited 108 rural technical experts in the form of a definite work contract without employment commitment, and it is intended to evaluate them and identify the factors affecting the productivity of the rural technical experts and prioritize the factors affecting their productivity in order to prepare the ground for improving their productivity and performance. Mrs. Hanieh Al-Sadat Sajjadi, with the title of prioritizing factors affecting the productivity of human resources from the point of view of middle managers of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, which was presented in the hospital's quarterly in 1388, I used as a model. Countries have established the current developments of the world and the previous experiences of development, innovation and productivity as the most appropriate means of promoting development in the new century. In other words, there has been a general consensus on the matter of entering or staying in the global list of countries that produce and supply ideas, goods and services, according to the aforementioned two principles. Meanwhile, productivity is a well-known criterion for evaluating the competitiveness of a system's products. It also offers a comprehensive and dynamic approach in order to establish a balance between economic-social efforts and environmental standards (Prokopenko, 2003, p. 92). Many countries have been able to provide a part of their economic growth in this way, and instead of increasing the consumption of inputs and new investments, they have focused on the optimal use of existing capacities. Today, countries benefit from a combined approach for growth and development. This means that while creating new capacities, they also use the existing capacities optimally. For example, during a ten-year period, 60% of Japan's economic growth came from increased productivity and 40% from the creation of new capacities.
