Presenting a Parsonian Model of Human Resource Productivity in the Timely Completion of School Renovation Projects
Keywords:
Productivity, Human Resources, Parsons' ModelAbstract
Parsons' approach is based on the methodological foundation of voluntarism and the epistemological basis of analytical realism, aiming to balance the two major methodological traditions. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to present a Parsonian model of human resource productivity in the timely completion of school renovation projects. This research utilized a descriptive-analytical method, employing a survey of 15 expert school renovation specialists from Alborz Province. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), factors influencing human resource productivity in the timely completion of school renovation projects were examined based on the Parsonian model, focusing on the city of Karaj. The final weight of each model indicator was calculated using the fuzzy AHP technique. The goal achievement index, with a weight of 0.181, was ranked as the top priority. Furthermore, the option of utilizing modern technologies—applying advanced technologies to enhance performance and productivity—was the highest priority among strategies, with a closeness coefficient (CL) of 0.674. The empowerment and training option, which involves aligning team members' skills and knowledge with project requirements and enhancing their capabilities to increase productivity, ranked second with a CL of 0.661. The resource allocation strategy—efficient and optimal allocation of resources based on project needs and priorities—ranked third, with a CL of 0.545. Based on the findings, goal achievement was identified as one of the most critical factors, while the utilization of modern technologies emerged as the most important strategy among the Parsonian theoretical approaches.
