Many construction companies still employ their workers without caring about the implementation of accident risks, by paying attention to work safety, it is expected that the performance of the workers will increase. This study aims to analyze the influence of occupational safety and health factors and worker motivation factors that affect the performance of workers in residential construction projects. The relationship between occupational safety and health, worker motivation and worker performance will be made in a path diagram model, and analyzed using SEM-PLS with a sample of 72 respondents. The results of the study found that the dominant factors in occupational safety and health are worker health monitoring, emergencies, personnel selection and placement, and hazard inspections. Meanwhile, the dominant factors that influence the motivation of craftsmen are wages, timely payment, and continuity (job security). In residential construction projects, occupational safety and health have a significant positive effect (P <0.0.5) on the motivation of craftsmen, in addition, worker motivation also has a significant positive effect on worker performance. In addition, occupational safety and health also have a significant positive effect directly on worker performance.

Full textAbstract:
Co-worker safety support has been given prominence in manufacturing and transportation field for its positive effect on individual workers’ safety; however, there is little evidence to show if such supporting role of co-workers is significant in improving project-level safety performance in construction workplace. This study adopts agent-based modeling (ABM) to understand the effectiveness of two distinct co-worker-safety-support actions on the safety performance of a construction project. Based on the risk theory, the ABM model simulates a construction site where worker agents reinforce steel bars with the likelihood of suffering crane-related incidents. The results indicate that both co-worker-support actions can significantly reduce the occurrence of nonfatal incidents but shows little influence in fatal incidents, and in reducing high-severity incidents, the action of warning peers to leave the hazardous area has the same effectiveness as reminding peers to wear Personal Protective Equipment. The present study provides a fresh insight into the safety-related role of co-workers: not only reveals how the local-level effects of co-workers’ safety assistance emerge the system-level consequences, but demonstrates the effectiveness of specific peer-support actions on three levels of construction safety performance, and thereby extends our existing body of knowledge on co-worker safety support in the construction field.

The performance of workers is one part of being able to develop a business. Not only demanding from the side of workers, companies also need to pay attention to work facilities to improve worker performance. Occupational Health and Safety is one part of the labor law. Every employer organization is required to implement Occupational Health and Safety in the implementation of work. Occupational Health and Safety is an important element to build worker performance. In addition, the perceived workload will determine the performance of workers. This study aims to determine the role of Occupational Health and Safety and workload on the performance of construction workers. This study uses 89 respondents who are construction workers. Data were obtained using a questionnaire which was distributed to the research sample. This study uses regression analysis. The results showed that Occupational Health and Safety had a significant influence on the formation of worker performance. Furthermore, the performance of workers is also known to be significantly influenced by workload. The two variables, namely Occupational Health and Safety and workload, are known to have a significant influence together on the formation of worker performance.

The increasing sophistication and complexity of construction technology have also increased workers’ physical risk and psychological stress. This study examined the relationships between health risks, work motivation, and productivity as perceived by construction workers. A hypothetical model of worker perceptions, and the psychological factors influencing these perceptions, was developed. A total of 324 construction workers at a Japanese construction company participated in the study and were divided into two groups: younger (45 years of age and below) and older adults (46 years of age and above). Data were collected using a questionnaire. The differences between the age groups were analyzed with regard to their perceptions of health risks, motivation, work skills, and productivity. Both younger and older workers were affected by intrinsic motivations and extrinsic motivations, but the effect of these motivations on work performance differed depending on age. Higher health risks are anticipated to affect the work motivation and productivity perceptions of older workers. The proposed model and findings of this study contribute to understanding worker motivations and have important implications for labor management of construction projects. By addressing construction workers’ intrinsic (e.g., interest) and extrinsic (e.g., reward) motivations, it is possible to sustainably improve project productivity.

The drilling rig construction project has the characteristic that its workers experience the impact of limited time and budget pressures in the planning and execution of activities, most of which are carried out by skilled human workers who are temporary in nature who migrate from one place to another and are heavily influenced by weather conditions and The surrounding environment is a few special characteristics that distinguish drilling rig activity projects in well drilling from construction projects in other industries. The forming factors of OSH culture have an effect on improving the OSH performance of workers on drilling rig activity projects and OSH culture at PT X. This research was conducted to identify and analyze the factors forming OSH culture which influence the OSH performance of workers, especially on drilling rig activity projects, as well as analyzing the influence of the factors forming the OSH culture on the OSH performance of the drilling rig activity project workers. The independent variables: Worker Commitment to K3 (X1), Compliance with K3 Regulations and Procedures (X2), Worker Communication in K3 (X3), Worker Competence in K3 (X4), Worker Involvement in K3 (X5), Worker Environment (X6), While the dependent is the K3 Performance of Drilling Activity Project Workers (Y). Data analysis in this study used descriptive statistical analysis and multivariate analysis with the Smart Partial Least Square 3 (SmartPLS 3) approach. The results of the analysis of the behavior of the respondents were male, mostly aged 36-45 years, had a Bachelor's degree, and had worked for more than 6 months and the results of the analysis of the respondents' perceptions of each variable obtained an average value calculated between 4.18 – 4.34. The results of the Smart Partial Least Square 3 analysis show that the independent variables consisting of workers' commitment to OHS (X1), Compliance with K3 regulations and procedures (X2), and Worker Involvement in OHS (X5) have a significant and positive effect on the dependent variable OHS Performance of Project Workers Drilling Rig Activities (Y).

Full textAbstract:
The workers in the PT.X construction project have high work hazards and risks, especially in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because construction projects are projects that must continue, the risk of workers being exposed to COVID-19 is high. If there are workers who are exposed to COVID-19, then directly or indirectly the work carried out by the worker will be replaced/backed up by his co-workers. So this can cause fatigue in construction workers. Work fatigue is one of the causes of work accidents. Fatigue can reduce the concentration of workers, reduce decision-making abilities, reduce work/muscle strength, communication skills, productivity, alertness and physical and mental performance and reduce work motivation. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Covid-19 on worker fatigue in the Company. The population in this study were 353 workers at PT.X with inclusion criteria being workers who worked overtime and who replaced their colleagues' work in the last 1 month and exclusion criteria were workers who never worked overtime and replaced their co-workers as many as 55 workers were analyzed univariately and bivariately with simple linear regression analysis model. The results showed that the COVID-19 pandemic had an effect on fatigue among workers at PT X. A significant variable was the age of workers, who worked > 8 hours a day, length of work > 5 years and less rest time, causing fatigue to worker.

Many construction organizations still employ workers without regard to the application of accident risk, although a focus on safety is predicted to improve worker performance. This study aims to examine the effect of occupational safety and health and incentive factors on worker performance in housing construction projects. This study used a quantitative approach and was tested using the SEM-PLS method with a sample of 72 respondents. The results showed that well-implemented occupational safety and health significantly improved worker performance, by reducing the risk of injury and improving worker welfare. In addition, high work motivation plays a role in increasing project productivity and efficiency. Emphasis on safety, health, and work motivation was shown to have a positive impact on achieving better project performance. The implications of this research provide important insights for construction managers and policy makers in optimizing project success through the implementation of effective safety protocols, wellness programs, and appropriate motivation strategies. Thus, this study highlights the importance of integrating occupational safety and motivation as key factors in achieving superior project performance.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Work-related accidents in construction are not only the cause of significant human suffering and loss; they are also complex phenomena involving multiple risk factors and stakeholders. Accordingly, numerous protocols and regulations have been developed to prevent construction work-related injuries in various settings. However, a specific accident prevention program has not been thoroughly investigated for construction workers in onshore oil and gas pipeline construction in Thailand. This study aims to develop and assess the effectiveness of an accident prevention program among onshore pipeline construction workers in Thailand. Methodology: Mixed-methods research was conducted from March 2022 to March 2023 among 577 workers and 30 stakeholders in construction projects. The data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire and brainstorming. Multiple linear regression analyses, paired samples t-test, Safe-T-Score (STS), and content analysis were applied to analyze the data. Results: The work-related accident prevention program, consisting of six steps with five proactive activities, effectively improved worker health and safety performance (P < 0.001). When compared to past performance, STS was less than -2 (STS = -2.18), which indicates an improved accident record. Worker health and safety performance was associated with poor environment (β = -0.146; P = 0.003), unsafe worker behaviors (β = -0.123; P = 0.026), unsafe workplace conditions (β = -0.466; P <0.001), and organizational psychology factors (β = 0.272; P < 0.001). Conclusions: We recommend extending this program to other construction workers in related contexts to improve accident prevention and promote safe work practices.

Work motivation for workers in a project can be considered simple and can also be a complex problem, because basically humans are easy to motivate by giving what they want. Furthermore, motivation is a process as the first step for someone to take action due to physical and psychological deficiencies or in other words, it is an encouragement shown to fulfill certain goals. If this condition does not occur, it will reduce worker work motivation and will result in decreased worker performance. This research aims to determine the level of needs that influence the motivation of construction foremen and analyze the motivational factors that influence the motivation of construction foremen. The method used by researchers was by distributing questionnaires to 15 foremen who were used as respondents for construction project research in Pangkep, as well as conducting interviews with three or four project foremen. Based on the research results, it was found that 5 factors have the most influence on the motivation of construction project foremen in Pangkep Regency in general, namely: Of the 23 motivation factors, there are 5 factors that have the most influence on the motivation of construction project foremen in general, namely: (1) adequate wages/salaries , (2) good workplace facilities, (3) payment received on time, (4) Good relationships with fellow workers, (5) good work direction program.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of foreign worker is currently increasing due to many factors and has necessitated a comprehensive study to identify the critical factor that leads to the failure of construction projects. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the performance of foreign labour so that the foreign worker can be trained and educated. Methodologically, a total of 68 questionnaires were distributed to respondents at construction sites in four districts of Johor Bahru, Kota Tinggi, Kulai and Pontian in Johor. The selected site was based on the study location, population, design criteria, sample size, sampling frame, sampling method and data collection method. The survey consisted of two sections, Sections A and B. Section A deals with the demographic profile of the respondents. Section B deals with the main factors affecting performance. The data was then analysed using descriptive analysis to determine the mean of the responses. The results show that inadequate health and safety awareness at the worksite is the most important factor affecting the performance of foreign workers. The results also show that the most negative influence of foreign workers is on the construction project. Therefore, the company needs to spend more resources on training the foreign workers. To overcome the problems, the company needs to set and pursue goals to improve the skills of the worker force. This factor is overcome through various strategies such as training foreign labours, monitoring their performance, communicating regularly with the workers and pursuing goals to improve the skills of the workers. The findings of this study can therefore be used to train and educate the foreign worker to perform better in construction projects, especially in heavily populated areas.

Incentive is one of the motivational approach, which has an energizing force that induces or compels and maintain performance of every worker. Thus, it will be of important if the impact of standardized and sustainable incentives is implied to every worker in construction industry. The aim of the paper is to assess the sustainable incentive on worker performances by assessing the relative significance index score for different types of incentives; and identifying the average level of impact for the three groups of incentives for workers’ performances. The targeted population of this study were contractors, architects, quantity surveyors, engineers in Enugu state. Data collection was done through a questionnaire survey self-administered on 80 randomly selected construction professionals involved in a nearly completed or recently completed construction projects. This was analyzed using descriptive statistics and analyses of variance (ANOVA). Results of the study indicate a disparity of the ranking of the degree of occurrence and impact among the group. Based on the composite of incentive factors the study established its likelihood of various occurrence of both financial and non-financial incentives. The study recommended that those with highly impacted incentives should be put in place in which it will become a means of conquering the new frontier with a solid sustenance. Finally, the study also concluded that they should implement an efficient, standardized and effective of the three groups of the incentives on workers in order to gear toward fully sustainable commitment, solid participation and loyal performances.

Purpose This paper aims to quantify the impact of craft worker shortage on construction project safety performance. Design/methodology/approach A database of 50 North American construction projects completed between 2001 and 2014 was compiled by taking information from a research project survey and the Construction Industry Institute Benchmarking and Metrics Database. The t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used to determine whether there was a significant difference in construction project safety performance on projects with craft worker recruiting difficulty. Poisson regression analysis was then used to examine the relationship between craft worker recruiting difficulty and Occupational Safety and Health Administration Total Number of Recordable Incident Cases per 200,000 Actual Direct Work Hours (TRIR) on construction projects. Findings The result showed that the TRIR distribution of a group of projects that reported craft worker recruiting difficulty tended to be higher than the TRIR distribution of a group of projects with no craft worker recruiting difficulty (p-value = 0.004). Moreover, the average TRIR of the projects that reported craft worker recruiting difficulty was more than two times the average TRIR of projects that experienced no craft recruiting difficulty (p-value = 0.035). Furthermore, the Poisson regression analysis demonstrated that there was a positive exponential relationship between craft worker recruiting difficulty and TRIR in construction projects (p-value = 0.004). Research limitations/implications The projects used to construct the database are heavily weighted towards industrial construction. Practical implications There have been significant long-term gains in construction safety within the USA. However, if recent craft shortages continue, the quantitative analyses presented herein indicate a strong possibility that more safety incidents will occur unless the shortages are reversed. Innovative construction means and methods should be developed and adopted to work in a safe manner with a less qualified workforce. Originality/value The Poisson regression model is the first model that quantifiably links project craft worker availability to construction project safety performance.

Full textAbstract:
The safety of workers in modular construction remains a concern due to the dynamic hazardous work environments and unawareness of the potential proximity of equipment. To avoid potential contact collisions and to provide a safe workplace, workers’ trajectory prediction is required. With recent technology advancements, the study in the area of trajectory prediction has benefited from various data-driven approaches. However, existing data-driven approaches are mostly limited to considering only the movement information of workers in the workplace, resulting in poor estimation accuracy. In this study, we propose an environment-aware worker trajectory prediction framework based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network to not only take the individual movement into account but also the surrounding information to fully exploit the context in the modular construction facilities. By incorporating worker-to-worker interactions as well as environment-to-worker interactions into our prediction model, a sequence of the worker’s future positions can be predicted. Extensive numerical tests on synthetic as well as modular construction datasets show the improved prediction performance of the proposed approach in comparison to several state-of-the-art alternatives. This study offers a systematic and flexible framework to incorporate rich contextual information into the prediction model in modular construction. The observation of how to integrate construction data analytics into a single framework could be inspiring for further future research to support robust construction safety practices.

Full textAbstract:
A proximity warning system to detect the presence of a worker/workers and to warn heavy equipment operators is highly needed to prevent collision accidents at construction sites. In this paper, we developed a robust construction safety system (RCSS), which can activate warning devices and automatically halt heavy equipment, simultaneously, to prevent possible collision accidents. The proximity detection of this proposed system mainly relies on ultra-wideband (UWB) sensing technologies, which enable instantaneous and simultaneous alarms on (a) a worker’s personal safety (personal protection unit (PPU)) device and (b) hazard area device (zone alert unit (ZAU)). This system also communicates with electronic control sensors (ECSs) installed on the heavy equipment to stop its maneuvering. Moreover, the RCSS has been interfaced with a global positioning system communication unit (GCU) to acquire real-time information of construction site resources and warning events. This enables effective management of construction site resources using an online user interface. The performance and effectiveness of the RCSS have been validated at laboratory scale as well as at real field (construction site and steel factory). Conclusively, the RCSS can significantly enhance construction site safety by pro-actively preventing collision of a worker/workers with heavy equipment.

Full textAbstract:
A construction project is very dynamic activities with high workloads and tight schedules, resulting in a fatigue condition of the workers. Due to the worker’s physical and physiological conditions that change over time, the risks may be varying from fatigue, and may become a potential danger of accidents. In a modern construction work safety should be planned, monitored, analyzed easily using a sophisticated system. As an attempt to realize the system, our research group developed a decision support system for construction worker safety monitoring based on fuzzy system approach. The design concept of the fuzzy decision support system with focus on worker performance related to prediction of fatigue and safety is discussed in this paper. The decision support system was designed based on fuzzy inference system with physiological data (heart rate, body temperature, and muscle activity) and project environment (working space temperature) models. The knowledge about of human subject condition reflected by the physiological data, environmental conditions and their relationship with working performance and safety are formulated in a linguistic inference system. The realized system demonstrates the ability to evaluate worker performance during work hour and prediction of fatigue. The realized system is useful as an early warning system for the prevention of construction workers accident and a part of our attempt to realize the modern safety management system.

It remains unclear whether the improvement in safety performance can be enhanced by workers with higher education levels, an individual’s learning ability, and a resilient safety culture. This study aims to examine the moderating effects of individual learning ability and resilient safety culture on the relationship between workers’ educational level and safety performance. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the education level, resilience safety culture, safety learning ability, and safety performance of workers. The results indicated that the educational level of construction workers has a significant positive impact on safety performance. They confirmed that an individual’s learning ability and a resilient safety culture have a positive moderating effect. This study supports the crucial relationship between worker education levels and safety performance. Thus, organizations and government entities can leverage this understanding to promote worker engagement in training programs and extend educational support. The study underscores the pivotal role of a resilient safety culture in bolstering the impact of worker educational level on safety performance. Finally, the study acknowledges the influence of an individual’s learning ability on safety performance. Integrating educational levels with individual learning abilities can facilitate the development of targeted strategies to improve safety performance.

Practically, as other construction projects, the workforce in housing construction projects is still dominated by informal workers who belong to a group and controlled by a leader. Accordingly, developer companies consider that informal worker leaders play an important role in improving the informal workers’ performance in housing construction projects. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the effective leadership style that can improve the performance of informal workers in housing construction projects based on the workers’ perceptions. The implications of this research can be used to improve the informal workers’ performance both of national and multinational developer companies so they can perform more effectively in completing housing construction projects. The research used qualitative method with phenomenological approach to reveal an assessment based on perceptions and perspectives of informal construction workers. Finally, it was found that the effective leadership style according to the informal workers’ perceptions is the transactional leadership which includes being liked by the workers, concerning and appreciating, as well as being consistent with commitments. Thus, effective performance and leadership will be achieved as informal construction workers will work hard under this leadership style.

Construction workers experience high levels of stress due to demanding work environments and safety hazards. This stress can negatively impact their health, safety behavior, and overall job performance. This study investigates the factors contributing to occupational stress among construction workers in Ghana’s Central Region. It explores the impact of stress on worker health, safety behavior, and performance, focusing on machine/equipment operators, junior engineers, and foremen. A stratified random sampling approach was employed to ensure representativeness across various company sizes. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 150 construction site workers, resulting in a response rate of 74.67%. Descriptive statistics and Principal Component Analysis were used to analyze the collected data. The study identified worker ill health, role overload, and excessive workload as the leading factors contributing to occupational stress. Dangerous machinery, inadequate safety equipment, and lack of proper training were found to be significant stressors specific to the construction environment. Furthermore, the study revealed that work-related stress negatively affects employee performance, career advancement, and safety behavior. Psychological consequences, such as difficulty concentrating, and physiological effects, such as headaches, were also prominent. This study highlights the prevalence of occupational stress among construction workers in Ghana and its detrimental effects on their health, safety, and performance. Based on the findings, regular medical check-ups for machine operators and the implementation of shift work schedules to reduce fatigue are recommended.

<em>Construction project development involves numerous parties, various processes, different phases and stages of work with the major aim being to bring the project to a successful conclusion. The level of success in carrying out construction project development activities depends heavily on the quality of the managerial, financial, technical and organizational performance of the respective parties. The paper examines the criteria for measuring the performance of construction site managers in Lagos State and identifies the factors influencing the performance of construction site managers. These were with a view to enhancing project delivery. The target population for the study is mainly the construction site managers in the eighty-eight (88) construction firms registered under the Lagos State Tender Board. The construction firms were stratified to three sizes with sixteen (16) firms, thirty-nine (39) firms and thirty-three (33) as large, medium and small respectively. A total enumeration survey of these constructions was carried out and Two (2) construction site managers were surveyed in each of the construction firms to obtain a total of 176 respondents. The data were analyzed with the use of percentages, relative importance index (RII) and mean item score (MIS). Age of worker was found to be the most important criterion for measuring the performance of construction site managers in small firms, Medium firms are only concerned about the absence of defects and rework and Large firms require their site managers to serve as the face of the firm and the level of experience and education of site managers is a major criterion for measuring the performance of site managers in large firms. Overall, findings suggest that for the effective performance of a site manager in any of the firm categories management, leadership, negotiating skills, integrity cannot be overlooked.</em>

Full textAbstract:
Noise pollution in construction sites is a significant concern, impacting worker health, safety, communication, and productivity. The current study aims to assess the paramount consequences of ambient noise pollution on construction activities and workers’ productivity in Peshawar, Pakistan. Noise measurements have been recorded at four different construction sites in Peshawar at different times of the day. Statistical analysis and Relative Importance Index (RII) are employed to evaluate the data Risk variables, such as equipment maintenance, noise control, increased workload, material handling challenges, quality control issues, and client satisfaction. The results indicated that noise levels often exceeded permissible limits, particularly in the afternoon, posing significant worker risks. In addition, RII analysis identified communication difficulties, safety hazards, and decreased productivity as significant issues. The results show that noise pollution is directly linked with safety risks, decreased performance, and client dissatisfaction and needs immediate attention by authorities. This paper proposes a strategic policy framework, recommending uniform hand signals and visual communication methods without noise for workers, worker training about safety, and using wearable devices in noisy settings. Communication training for teams and crane operators, proactive quality control, and customer-oriented project schedules are also proposed. These recommendations aim to mitigate the adverse effects of noise pollution, enhance construction industry resilience, and improve overall operational efficiency, worker safety, and client satisfaction in the construction sector of Peshawar, aligning with policy and sustainable development objectives.

A skill-measuring criterion or strategy can be used to optimize the scarce skilled labour force in the Canadian construction industry. The University of Calgary conducted an extensive study to assess the skill levels and team performance of field workers and managers in Alberta’s building construction projects. Over 150 workers and field managers were interviewed, surveyed with questionnaires and observed, to identify team efficiencies, skill levels, team spirit, and team perceptions of supervision. The average construction worker had over 15 years of field experience. Most of the workers were high school educated. More than 70% of the workers wanted to improve their career skills; however, internal and external opportunities were limited and (or) not promoted by the respective construction companies. A very few foremen had certified skills in administration, computer handling, planning, job management and work records. The research clearly noted the urgent need for training programs, for workers and field managers, to improve their present skill levels.

The job creation law, which functions to accelerate economic recovery, especially in the construction world, has been ratified by the DPR. This Law affects the regulation of the intervention authority in terms of the implementation of construction services, both for construction service providers and users of construction services, and the supervision of regional regulations regarding the construction sector's performance, which consider hindering investment. The Law expects to provide provisions for the construction world, namely job creation, worker competence, welfare improvement, increased worker productivity, and empowerment of regional construction workers. So, to ensure and supervise if this Law has a positive impact on the world of construction as we advance, the role of the DPR RI is vital. For this reason, caution needs in formulating the derivative rules. But over time, the construction community rejected these laws. So based on this background, this research aims to see the impact of the Job Creation Act on the construction world

Full textAbstract:
The work of workers is still dominant in the realization of most construction projects and therefore has a great impact on the productivity of contractors and, thereby, on the sustainability of realization of the goals of contractors and clients. This article provides an overview of the results of more than 100 studies from the previous decade on the impacts of factors related to the personal attributes of workers on the productivity and performance of construction projects. Based on the reviewed literature and semi-structured interviews with experienced professionals in the construction industry, the relation between worker characteristics and other influences on labor productivity is defined and a list of worker characteristics suitable for research in Croatia is compiled. A survey of 262 workers, engineers, and managers from construction industries of Croatia’s eastern region, Slavonia and Baranja, showed that the worker characteristics that most influence labor productivity are experience and dexterity. It was also noticed, with a high correlation between the different groups of respondents, that physical strength and morale and morality of the workers were rated as highly influential, while education level was rated as the least influential. The research results are useful because they indicate the possibility of significantly improving the productivity of construction contractors by selecting workers with appropriate physical abilities and cognitive and non-cognitive skills, as well as developing a suitable system for training and motivation of employees.

Objective: The objective of this article is to investigate the influence of human parameters on qualitative assessment of labor productivity (LP) in the construction industry. Background: The theories involving workers have identified various parameters on physical efficiency, such as heart rate, relative heart rate, and calorie count, so as to improve the safety and social conditions of construction labor, thereby increasing LP. However, there is no direct emphasis on assessment of LP using human parameters related to physical strength. Method: An exploratory study was conducted on 17 construction workers by observing their task-level LP in real time at a construction site. Human parameters, such as age, body mass index (BMI), handgrip strength, and upper body muscle strength of the laborers, were measured at the construction site. Performance levels of these workers were placed in three categories, and each worker was assigned a typical weightage to each category when correlated to physical strength. Results: Labor categories among the human parameters that included middle age, normal-range BMI, and strong muscular strength were shown as having higher LP than others. A quantitative parameter called the Human Parameter Index (HPI) was developed based on the performance categories developed for an individual worker. Human parameters revealed a significant relationship with respect to task-level LP. Conclusion and Application: The study determines the influence of human parameters on LP in construction. Introduction of human parameters in the construction industry will help in assessment of LP for various labor-intensive activities.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine domestic and international cases regarding the labor status of platform workers and explore policy implications for Korea. Recently, the number of platform workers has significantly increased due to technological advancements. Unlike traditional dependent labor, identifying the actual labor provision relationship of platform workers is challenging. Recognizing the worker status of platform workers is also difficult because they often provide forms of labor that do not meet traditional indicators of worker status. In particular, some users tend to misclassify actual workers as independent contractors to avoid the application of labor laws. There is a need to improve the system to protect platform workers who provide labor for others but are not currently protected by the law. Recently, courts in the United States and other countries have acknowledged the worker status of platform workers. It appears that countries recognize the need for legal protection of platform workers and are strengthening protection by introducing flexibility in determining worker status. In the United States, the California Supreme Court, in the Dynamex case, proposed the ʻABC testʼ as a new standard for determining worker status. The ABC test shifts the burden of proof in worker status cases to the employer, requiring them to prove that (A) the laborer is completely free from the employerʼs direction and supervision, both contractually and in practice, in the performance of the work; (B) the work is outside the ordinary course of the employerʼs business; and (C) the laborer is truly self-employed with a separate and independent business in the same field. The California Supreme Court has made it clear that if the employer cannot prove elements A, B, and C, the labor provider is considered an employee, potentially enhancing protections for platform workers. In Korea, the recent ruling by the Seoul High Court in 2023, recognizing the worker status of platform workers (Tada drivers), has garnered significant attention. Beyond the importance of this ruling for the protection of platform workers, failure to develop Koreaʼs worker concept jurisprudence in a more inclusive direction may render labor laws inadequate in safeguarding various new forms of platform labor and those who provide labor through artificial intelligence and algorithms. Indicators for worker determination and measures for protecting labor providers need to evolve to encompass various forms of labor provision, including platform labor. In this regard, it is noteworthy that courts worldwide are increasingly interpreting the worker test to extend protection to platform workers as recognized workers. While the Korean government is actively working to protect platform workers, there is an urgent need for legal protection for the growing number of platform workers. It is essential to study, review, and improve the system by drawing insights from foreign court cases to ensure comprehensive protection for platform workers.

The construction industry is a work environment that poses many dangers to workers, with many hidden factors that affect work awareness. It is important for construction companies to ensure a balance between productivity and safety in the work environment. The purpose of this study was to identify relationships between the feeling of safety in the work environment, proactive work behavior, job satisfaction, work skills, team performance, and health risk indicators, such as heart rate, among construction workers of different ages. Based on previous research, we examined the hypothetical perception model. We then administered a questionnaire survey to construction workers (N = 357) employed at a Japanese construction company. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we investigated the impact of health risk indicators on worker perceptions among young and older workers. The results showed that workers’ heart rate and body mass index (BMI) had a negative effect on the feeling of safety and proactive work behavior among older workers, but showed no significant relationship among young workers. However, regardless of workers’ age, it was clear that the feeling of safety affects job satisfaction, and that work skills and proactive work behaviors affect perceptions regarding team performance.

Full textAbstract:
Proximity warning systems for construction sites do not consider whether workers are already aware of the hazard prior to issuing warnings. This can generate redundant and distracting alarms that interfere with worker ability to adopt timely and appropriate avoidance measures; and cause alarm fatigue, which instigates workers to habitually disable the system or ignore the alarms; thereby increasing the risk of injury. Thus, this paper integrates the field-of-view of workers as a proxy for hazard awareness to develop an improved hazard proximity warning system for construction sites. The research first developed a rule-based model for the warning generation, which was followed by a virtual experiment to evaluate the integration of worker field-of-view in alarm generation. Based on these findings, an improved hazard proximity warning system incorporating worker field-of-view was developed for field applications that utilizes wearable inertial measurement units and localization sensors. The system’s effectiveness is illustrated through several case studies. This research provides a fresh perspective to the growing adoption of wearable sensors by incorporating the awareness of workers into the generation of hazard alarms. The proposed system is anticipated to reduce unnecessary and distracting alarms which can potentially lead to superior safety performance in construction.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade, researchers have explored various technologies and methodologies to enhance worker safety at construction sites. The use of advanced sensing technologies mainly has focused on detecting and warning about safety issues by directly relying on the detection capabilities of these technologies. Until now, very little research has explored methods to quantitatively assess individual workers’ safety performance. For this, this study uses a tracking system to collect and use individuals’ location data in the proposed safety framework. A computational and analytical procedure/model was developed to quantify the safety performance of individual workers beyond detection and warning. The framework defines parameters for zone-based safety risks and establishes a zone-based safety risk model to quantify potential risks to workers. To demonstrate the model of safety analysis, the study conducted field tests at different construction sites, using various interaction scenarios. Probabilistic evaluation showed a slight underestimation and overestimation in certain cases; however, the model represented the overall safety performance of a subject quite well. Test results showed clear evidence of the model’s ability to capture safety conditions of workers in pre-identified hazard zones. The developed approach presents a way to provide visualized and quantified information as a form of safety index, which has not been available in the industry. In addition, such an automated method may present a suitable safety monitoring method that can eliminate human deployment that is expensive, error-prone, and time-consuming.

This paper studies the effect of stress, fatigue and workload on construction contract worker in term of their safety performance results using the Situation Awareness Rating Technique (SART), with reference to how it relates to the root causes of accidents. Investigating the factors associated with accidents helps to identify and minimize the associated mistakes or causes and reduce or avoid accidents and improve safety performance in construction projects. Data were collected using a SART survey of employee of 18 contractors working on construction of electrical substations in the western area of Saudi Arabia. It was found that most accidents occurred at the worker level because of their lack of awareness and training. It is apparent that SART affects the safety performance of contractors and it varies with the position, age and experience of workers. To implement a safe working environment free of accidents, it is necessary to improve all job levels according to their insufficient area and activate a full safety management system with periodic reviews to improve it and make it more effective.

Construction is the second dangerous industry in China, which is preceded only by mining industry. Thus it’s necessary and urgent to ensure workers safety due to the specialty of the dangerous industry. Improving the safety performance of construction workers could be an efficient and reliable way to ensure their safety in China. Literatures related to safety performance, safety climate, safety behavior, personal issues and safety evaluation were reviewed. Based on this, a conception model for the workers safety performance improvement was then proposed and analyzed.

Construction workers’ unsafe behaviors are closely related to construction safety performance. Most existing studies on construction workers’ personality traits and safety behaviors have ignored the flexibility of worker mix at construction sites, the dynamics of workers’ behaviors, and the complexity of environmental risks at construction sites. Based on the cognitive process of construction workers’ safety behaviors and from the perspective of personality traits, this research establishes an agent-based model of steelworkers’ mutual assistance behavior. The AnyLogic platform is adopted to show emerging phenomena in complex problems. Through simulation experiments, the optimized configuration of construction team members under different risk environments can be obtained. This research is conducive to project managers to understand the influence of construction workers’ mutual assistance on team safety, assess workers’ potential for safe work before recruitment, and carry out active safety management from the source instead of looking for the cause of the accident afterward, making safety management theory more realistic and dynamic.

The author applied the methods of Professor L.V. Kvint’s scientific school of strategizing to the construction industry in the Russian Federation. Strategic threat is a set of adverse conditions and factors that affect the strategic results. This term belongs to the first stage of strategizing which analyzes external and internal environment and assesses new opportunities and threats. The research featured various strategizing issues in the domestic construction industry, in particular, those that increase labor performance. The factors that reduce labor productivity were divided into several groups as “an unstable contractor”, “an unstable team”, and “an unstable worker”. The article describes strategic threats to the development of the construction industry and introduces some ideas on how to strategize labor performance, e.g., by developing and implementing social and technological innovations. In this regard, the priority tasks should include the following measures. The best workers should be encouraged to develop their professional skills and paid as much as qualified engineers. Robotic complexes and technical systems are to replace heavy physical labor. Innovative construction technologies and products should cover a wide range of construction types.

The digitalization of the construction industry (CI) has the aim—among others—to raise the bar of overall productivity. The craft workforce is very relevant on the overall value-chain. Therefore, a boost in this dimension impacts the entire sector. There is a gap in proper methodologies to measure and model productivity. Construction 4.0 novelties provide new approaches for its evaluation and progress. This communication presents a review of workforce productivity assessment and delivers methods focusing primarily on craft workers motion monitoring. Products and services opportunities from Construction 4.0 in the spectrum of craft workforce management include support by embedded sensors for data collection that allow near real-time monitoring. The work developed led to the systematization of a framework to standardize craft workers’ motion productivity. The craft workforce motion productivity framework, Worker 4.0, tenders nine processes integrated on a flowchart to streamline task processes assessment and mechanization level. It also sets up a two-handed/two-legged chart system to model craft workers’ activities and operations. The contributions to the body of knowledge are substantiated on the framework creation with the ability to model and assess craft workforce performance. This approach is meant to serve as base point for different stakeholders focusing on skills, efficiency, mechanization and productivity improvements.

Continuous performance management through monitoring and evaluation techniques plays an essential role in attaining success in the project. To enhance project performance, the manager must create a positive work environment and do more than work within predefined project management constructs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the motivation of employees on project performance. A primary and quantitative study was held to identify the relationship between the variables (e.g., motivation, project performance, and op[1]erational strategy). We distributed questionnaire surveys to units of analysis; they helped us select the best sample from our selected Bahawalpur, Multan, Lahore and Faisalabad region Projects. The data was collected through questionnaires by interviewing the 210 project workers and managers using convenience sampling. The data were analyzed through SPSS and Smart PLS. Statistical results such as Descriptive Analysis, Regression Analysis, Moderating Analysis, and Boot Strapping were used to establish the relationship between variables and Cronbach Alpha to measure the scale reliability. The results show that the worker's motivation has a significant positive effect and is essential in increasing the project's performance. Operational strategy as a moderator has a significant positive impact on project performance. This study is critical because it provides practical insights regarding the most important factors. In this study, we discuss the factors that affect worker performance and find the factors related to the worker to achieve the project performance. The conclusion supports that workers' motivation enhances the project's performance.
