Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to conduct an exploratory analysis of certain observable measures associated with farm labour management and to examine factors affecting farm labour remuneration. Data were collected in the Lions River, Lower Tugela and Elliot magisterial districts during January 1987. A principal components analysis extracted a factor common to measures of positive farmer attitude, called a “progressive labour management index”, which implied that farmers who use labour training facilities also provide incentive schemes, give generous leave allowances and would consider employing an African farm manager. A regression analysis is used to determine factors affecting remuneration levels. A principal component which extracts 67.4% of variation in remuneration is used as the dependent variable. Variables tested included labourer training, years work experience, farmer's attitude and farm type. Training and years work experience were significant in all three areas and positively correlated with remuneration.
Uittreksel
Die doel van hierdie studie is om 'n verkenningsontleding uit te voer van sekere waarneembare maatstawwe geassosieër met arbeidbestuur en om faktore wat arbeidsvergoeding bepaal, te ontleed. Gedurende Januarie 1987 is data ingesamel vir die magistraatsdistrikte van Lions Rivier, Laer Tugela en Elliot. 'n Hoofkomponente-ontleding het 'n positiewe benadering tot arbeidbestuur as 'n gemeenskaplike faktor geïdentifiseer ('n “progressiewe arbeidbestuur indeks”), Dit dui daarop dat boere wat arbeideropleidingfasiliteite gebruik ook ander bestuurspraktyke volg soos vergoedingaansporing, ruim verlof en die indiensneming van Swart bestuurders. 'n Regressie-ontleding is gedoen om faktore wat vergoeding bepaal te ontleed. 'n Hoofkomponent wat 67,4% van die variasie in vergoedingsmaatstawwe verklaar is gebruik as afhanklike veranderlike. Veranderlikes gebruik sluit in arbeideropleiding, jare werkservaring, houding van boer en plaasgrootte. Opleiding en werkservaring was betekenisvol in al drie areas en positief gekorreleerd met vergoeding.
