Özet:

The subject of Human Resource Management (Human Resource Management) in farms that carry out animal production activities is a matter that can often be ignored by the business managers/owners. Although the number of equipment and the use of technology in animal production is increasing, the importance of qualified labour in farms is not reduced. One of the important reasons for this is that the base of animal production is the living grape and that the presence of experienced staff facilitates the achievement of the farming’s goal. This research is aimed at revealing the views and expectations of business managers/owners in large-scale livestock enterprises in Turkey and their basic practices in the fields of workforce management, staff supply and continuity. In this framework, faces-to-face talks were held with 65 farm managers/owners throughout Aksaray, Burdur, Isparta and Konya. The "Farm Manager Workforce Satisfaction Form" used in the study was developed by the Delphi process along with specialists in the field, such as farm managers, business managers, academics. The Farm Manager has been named under 4 factors in order for Workforce Satisfaction-Region Questions, including "Personal Communication", "Personal Success in the Farm", "Promotion and Assistance" and "workforce management". The data obtained is evaluated by the method of factor analysis. It can be said that the data of the relevant scale is compatible with the analysis of the factor (p<0,05) and generally according to the results of the analysis of the factor the structural validity of the measuring instrument is secured. As a result, human resources management in the animal sector in Turkey is becoming more important every day with increasing scale and investment amounts. In medium and large enterprises, the continuity of qualified staff, staff efficiency play a direct role in’s profitability and achieving their economic goals. Therefore, people in the management position in the livestock sector, along with the changing production structure, are crucial to increase labour satisfaction in their farms, to obtain the necessary training in Human Resources Management (Human Resources Management) and to implement the practices in their field-business in successfully achieving the farming’s economic goals.
