IMPACT OF STAFF TRAINING ON LABOR PRODUCTIVITY IN THE OPERATIONAL AREA OF A MINING COMPANY (PASCO-PERU), 2023

Abstract

In a context where operational efficiency is a crucial factor for the success of mining companies, this research aimed to analyze the direct impact of staff training on the increase in labor productivity within the operational area of a mining company located in Pasco (Peru). Through a quantitative and non-experimental research design, the study sought to establish a causal relationship between these two variables. The results obtained were compelling; the statistical analysis, supported by a Nagelkerke coefficient of 0.896, revealed a highly significant causality between training initiatives and the increase in labor productivity. This finding indicates that 89.6% of the variability in productivity can be attributed to the implemented training actions. In other words, training emerged as a determining factor in improving employee performance and, consequently, in increasing the company's production. These results not only confirm the research hypothesis but also provide solid empirical evidence regarding the importance of investing in human capital development within the mining sector. By training their personnel, companies not only increase their productivity in the short term but also strengthen their long-term competitiveness by having a more skilled and motivated workforce.
