Factors Affecting Construction Labor Productivity of Admin Workers and Subcontractor Workers
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Engineering Management
Abstract
Labor productivity in construction is a critical determinant of project success, impacting timelines, costs, and quality. This study examines the critical factors influencing construction labor productivity within the different construction organization in the Philippines. By analyzing perceptions of Project Managers, Project Engineers, and Contractors, the research identifies key productivity determinants and differences in viewpoints among these stakeholders. The findings aim to enhance project performance through targeted strategies for productivity improvement. The findings provide actionable insights for improving labor management strategies in construction projects, ultimately enhancing overall efficiency and project outcomes. Professionals working at different levels, including project managers, site engineers, architects, and others, were invited to take part in an online survey in order to accomplish this objective.
