The research adopted a triangulation method (mixed method) of data collection into achieve the set objectives. These involved the use of structured questionnaire and direct observation on site. The analysis of data uses Relative Importance Index (RII) and direct calculation of productivity using the labour productivity formula. From the result of the analysis, the average daily labour productivity for steel fixers and carpenter in the North-Central Nigeria was found to be 377.8kg and 3.02m2 with an average variation of 20.05kg and 0.35m2 respectively. These were in line with the previous studies. The study identified 21 factors that are critical to the performance of steel fixers and carpenters in North – Central Nigeria.

  • Improving Labour Productivity on Construction Projects
    Faculty of Business Msc in Project Management Dissertation Supervisor: Dr. Mohammed Dulaimi Improving Labour Productivity on Construction Projects Prepared by: Fawaz Daoud Abweh February, 2009 ABSTRACT In order for businesses to succeed, management must keep a close eye on the bottom line. One of the many factors that directly affect a firm's profitability is employee productivity. The purpose of this research is to study the productivity rates on construction projects and the role of project manager to improve the productivity rates by highlighting the techniques that can be used and applied to achieve a noticeable difference in the productivity. Literature review is conducted through referred researches and journals to show different findings and theories related to the productivity rates and the methods of improvement. And then research instruments were used such as work sampling and interviews in order to reach to the final discussions and conclusions. The study shows that the productivity rates of the construction workers vary from one project to another, taking into consideration the type of the activity to be carried out and the surrounding work environment. However, the study also highlights how the project manager can intervene in order to improve the productivity of his workers. بسم اهلل الرحمن الرحيم أهدي هذا العمل إلى من كانت حياتي و دراستي وعملي لنيل رضاهما ومباركتهما .... والدي العزيز ... ليرحمك اهلل ويسكنك فسيح جناته أمي الغالية ... ليحفظك اهلل لي تاجا فوق رأسي كما وأهديه إلى زوجتي الحبيبة ... ليبارك اهلل لي بك 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT My warmest thanks and appreciations to my family, friends and colleagues who gave me full support and help in order to complete this thesis.
