摘要：This article addressed the contribution of quality to compliance costs in the work and procedures of employment and environment institutions, and its indirect contribution to productivity. Relations within two structural equation models were assessed using data collected on businesses in Slovenia. The study results, based on the structural equation modeling, indicated that public institution quality is negatively correlated with business compliance costs, and that the relation between compliance costs and productivity was also negative. The results showed that compliance costs are an important determinant of business productivity.
