Factors Related to Performance Variation
Despite the economic importance of large variations in individual productivity of logging-machine operators, few studies have attempted to examine the source of such variations.

| description | Despite the economic importance of large variations in individual productivity of logging-machine operators, few studies have attempted to examine the source of such variations. Based on data obtained for a total of 757 shifts of tree-felling activity, this exploratory study attempted to: (a) document variation in on-the-job performance and assign the variation to sources «within individual operators», «between operators», or «between firms»; (b) relate observed performance measured operator characteristics (ability and motivation); and (c) suggest ways in which average levels of job performance could be improved. |
