The link between personnel department expenditures and the total annual output of 11 large railroads was examined over a six-year period. The results showed that there was significant correlation between personnel department expenditures and annual output. However, it was also shown that the individual railroads failed to adjust personnel department expenditures over the six-year period in a manner that maximized labor productivity.
