The garment industry is one of the prioritized sectors in Myanmar and increasing its productivity is vital to Myanmar’s economy. The labour productivity of the garment industry is hampered by various obstacles and it is affecting on the overall export performance of Myanmar’s garment industry. In order to ensure the growth of labour productivity and promote its export to the global market, this study requires not only to find out the major influencing factors affecting labour productivity but also to analyze the relationship between labour productivity and garment exports of Myanmar. This study aims to determine the factors affecting on labour productivity of garment manufacturing firms, to examine the direction of causation between labour productivity and export of garment manufacturing firms, and to analyze whether the relationship between labour productivity and export are long-run or short-run. This study uses the descriptive and analytical research methods by using qualitative and quantitative approach. A panel regression model is applied to examine the relationship between labour productivity and export of garment firms. The data was collected from 172 sample garment exporting firms in Yangon. This study found that labour productivity of garment firms in Myanmar is determined by human capital, management practices of the firm, compensation and rewards structure of a firm, and employee welfare program or social factor, which are directly controlled by the firms themselves. On the other hand, the increase in the labour productivity of a firm is indirectly supported by some external variables as government regulations and policies, public utilities and infrastructure, and the national culture. These factors affect labour productivity to some extent, but firms cannot directly control these variables to promote employee productivity. The results of Granger Causality Test describe that there is short-run unidirectional causality where labour productivity causes to garment exports. This study suggests that Myanmar garment industry should have great efforts on increasing labour productivity by promoting the main influencing factors according to findings of this study. Because export growth of garment industry is mainly caused by its labour productivity growth. |
