Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The success of a construction project depends upon the performance of the input resources. The productivity parameters which need to be controlled in construction projects are labour productivity, equipment productivity and material productivity. The construction labour productivity is of great interest to the construction project practitioners because it affects project cost and time performance. Using a field survey research design with forty variables affecting construction project labour productivity distributed to construction project professionals in Imo and Abia states of Nigeria selected on stratified sampling technique. 82% respondents was achieved and mean score method was used to assess the index of preponderance of the factors of labour productivity. Among the variables; motivation of the workers with a mean score of 1.781 ranked first while political factors with a mean score of 0.293 was the least in terms of ranking. About 65% of the factors affecting low productivity were administrative while 35% were technological problems.
