Factors affecting employee productivity in the UAE construction industry

Abstract

Reliable productivity rates for construction trades are essential for contractors to \naccurately estimate the time and cost of construction projects. These rates vary \nconsiderably based on the complexity of the structure, project site constraints, and \nother technical, managerial, social and cultural factors. Predicting the effect of these \nfactors will enhance the ability of the contractor to optimally utilize resources. This \nresearch therefore aims to evaluate the most significant factors that affect productivity \nof key construction activities namely: excavation, formwork, reinforcement, \nconcreting, blockwork, plastering and tiling. The research focuses on the construction \nindustry in the UAE (United Arab Emirates).
