Abstract

This research is an empirical study of human resource management (HRM) for the motivation of masons in the Sri Lankan construction industry (SLCI). The structured interview was chosen as a main research instrument for data collection. 90 masons and 30 supervisors were randomly selected from 10 construction sites within the SLCI. The study’s findings show that the supervisors and masons in the construction industry (CI) in Sri Lanka are aware of the supposed advantages of staffing, employee development and the rewards of a HRM approach. However, these characteristics have yet to play a significant role in the motivation of Sri Lankan supervisors and masons. A contextually sensitive application of these three strategies has the potential to improve motivation of the Sri Lankan construction workforce.
