Abstract
Palm oil plays a strategic role and has bright prospects as a source of foreign exchange, but this commodity is still experiencing problems with the productivity of harvested labour. This study aims to examine and analyze the factors that affect the labour productivity of the oil palm harvest who have the status of non-group employees in PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VI Batanghari Business Unit. The data used in this study is secondary data with the number of respondents as many as 110 harvested workers. To examine the labour productivity of oil palm harvesters with the status of non-group employees using a descriptive approach while analyzing the factors that affect the labour productivity of oil palm harvests with the status of non-group employees using multiple linear regression analysis. The variables measured in this study are productivity, age of harvested labour, premiums for the previous month and education. The analysis showed that simultaneously and partially, the variables of the age of the harvested labour, the previous month's premium and the education rate significantly affected the productivity of the oil palm harvest workforce who were non-group employees at PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VI Batanghari Business Unit. Therefore, the previous month's premium needs to be one of the determining factors to increase the productivity of the harvested labour by the Company.
