Influence of Human Capital and Self-Efficacy in Improving Productivity of Power Plant Perators at Jeneponto Power Plant Through Knowledge Sharing

Abstract

Research related to productivity improvement through the knowledge sharing process is still limited, so this research aims to find a model of productivity improvement through the utilization of knowledge sharing that can provide multi-effects at the organizational level, task level, and individual level of operators as a solution to research problems in terms of improving human capital and self-efficacy. Productivity is a concept related to system theory (input-process-output) that is reflected in the ability of employees in producing a product. This study uses primary data in the form of questionnaires as data collection instruments. Sample withdrawal in this study using Purposive Sampling method is a sampling technique with certain considerations, samples used as many as 110 samples. furthermore, the data of the questionnaire results are processed using Partial Least Square (PLS). The results showed that human capital and Self-efficacy have a positive and significant effect on knowledge sharing and productivity of operators, Knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on the productivity of operators, Human capital and self-efficacy has a significant effect on the productivity of operators through knowledge sharing. The implications of the results of the study, the better the quality of human capital and self-efficacy, the ability to do knowledge sharing is also increasing so as to have a postifi impact on the improvement of operator productivity. The practical implications of this research can be used as a model in improving operator productivity through the knowledge sharing process. So there is an accelerated process of knowledge transfer between foreign operators and local operators. The novelty of this research lies in the process of knowledge sharing that is generally done by design through the process of training in door in this research the process of knowledge sharing is done out door through a natural process conducted between foreign operators and local operators. So that the results of this study can add research references in the field of human capital development.
