<![CDATA[This paper sets out the design, measurement basis and analytical plan of a study of employee productivity in a district-level public information agency. It asks how three worker attributes, namely accumulated work experience, perceived workload and self-assessed work skills, combine to predict productivity among the staff of the Communication and Informatics Office (Diskominfo) of Asahan Regency, North Sumatra. Work experience is framed as firm-specific human capital, work skills as the ability component of the ability–motivation–opportunity framework, and workload as a demand whose sign is theoretically indeterminate, since the challenge and hindrance limbs of the stressor literature predict opposite effects. The design is a cross-sectional census of the 41 established staff of an office responsible for network and application administration, public information, statistics and coding, surveyed with a sixteen-item five-point Likert instrument covering three, three, five and five indicators. The planned analysis is ordinary least squares with 95% confidence intervals, Cohen’s f², squared semi-partial correlations, partial and zero-order correlations, and collinearity diagnostics, together with an a-priori sensitivity analysis establishing the design’s detection floor. The empirical results are withheld pending reanalysis of the raw response file; the arithmetic reasons are set out in Appendix A.]]>
