Abstract of the Research
SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DETECT BOTTLENECKS AND ENHANCE EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY
The present disclosure relates to a system for detecting bottlenecks and enhancing employee productivity. The system broadly includes an input module (106), a pre-processing module (108), a segmentation module (110), a feature selection module (112), a feature extraction module (114), a data training module (116), and a classification module (118). The system also consists of a data repository (102), a processor (104), and an evaluation module (120). The present disclosure aims to examine counterproductive work behaviors of employees through the effort-reward imbalance model by considering dark triad traits as moderators. The dark triad traits can indulge the employees more in unethical practices in organizations and one among those traits is Narcissism which negatively affects counterproductive work behaviors. Organizations can predict the Dark Triad traits in individuals, and they can avoid unethical practices in organizations and counterproductive work behaviors.
Explanation of the Research in Layperson’s Terms:
The present process aims to examine counterproductive work behaviors through the effort-reward imbalance model by taking into consideration Dark triad traits as moderators. The Dark Triad traits can indulge the employees more in unethical practices in organizations and one among those traits is Narcissism which negatively affects counterproductive work behaviors. Organizations can predict the Dark Triad traits in individuals, and they can avoid unethical practices in organizations and can avoid counterproductive work behaviors. There is a notable knowledge gap concerning the moderating role of Dark Triad traits in the relationship between efforts and rewards imbalance and counterproductive work behaviors, even though there is existing research on both the association between Dark Triad traits and counterproductive work behaviors and the relationship between efforts and rewards imbalance and counterproductive work behaviors.
Practical Implementation or Social Implications Associated with the Research:
• The Invention aims at identifying and eliminating the consequences of the Dark Triad Traits while performing Human Resources Practices like Recruitment, Training and Development, Performance Analysis, and Compensation and Reward Management system.
• The Invention either weakens or eliminates the Counter Productive work behaviors as a potential consequence of springing up of Dark Triad traits during the execution of various Human Resource practices in the organizations and this leads to achieving the estimated Organizational Productivity as per the strategy.
• Organizations can identify the impact of the Dark triad traits on employees and take steps to reduce the stress that leads to unproductive work behaviors.
• Organizations can eliminate the job stressors which are seen as the main sources of
• Counterproductive work behaviors can indicate the Dark triad traits’ influence on individuals.
• Management should investigate the causes of rudeness in the workplace to improve morale and productivity.
• During the hiring process, management should use a battery of psychological tests to gain insight into candidates’ personalities.
• Management can formulate standard policies to eliminate malicious activities and avoid effort-reward imbalances and counterproductive work behaviors.
• Understanding the causes of counterproductive workplace behavior is vital because it has become a widespread and expensive problem for businesses worldwide.
Future Research Plans
To Incorporate AI and ML tools to identify the Dark Triad traits, thereby enhancing the employee evaluation process and mitigating counterproductive work behaviors within organisations.
