Hubungan Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia Strategis terhadap Produktivitas Karyawan Kelompok Peternakan di Kalimantan Timur

Abstract

Employee productivity is a critical determinant of competitiveness and sustainability in the agribusiness sector, particularly modern livestock farming in developing countries. Despite the importance of technology adoption, the effectiveness of Strategic Human Resource Management (SRM) in shaping employee competencies and enhancing productivity remains underexplored in the livestock sector. This study analyzes the direct and indirect impacts of Strategic HRM on work productivity through employee competencies in modern livestock farming clusters in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed, and data were collected from 76 respondents across three livestock farming clusters. Using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) through SmartPLS 4, the study evaluated the measurement and structural models. The results indicate that SHRM has a positive and significant impact on productivity and strongly enhances employee competency. Competence also has a direct positive impact on productivity and acts as a mediator in the relationship between SHRM and productivity. Theoretically, this study extends the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) framework and the resource-based view by confirming competency as a key mediating mechanism. In practice, these findings provide practical insights for you, the managers and policymakers, on implementing competency-based HR strategies, continuous training, and incentive systems to strengthen productivity in agribusiness companies. Your role in this process is crucial and integral.
