Abstract

The purpose of this study is to substantiate employee value (EV) and its impact on labor productivity in agriculture using the example of Azerbaijan. Using a survey of employees in agricultural enterprises, personnel values have been determined that determine the level of labor productivity in agriculture. A factor structure of EV has been determined, which has the following form: basic moral values, values of self-development and self-realization, democratic values, hedonistic values, dedication, tolerance, and power factor. The modeling by structural equations method has been used to determine the relationship between the priority of EV, the level of consistency of the system of EV, and labor productivity. The study has determined that a stimulating effect on labor productivity is provided by an increase in the priority and development of moral values, democratic values, values of self-development and self-realization of employees. The development of hedonistic values, however, has a destabilizing effect.
