Thesis (MTech (Construction Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.<br>This research was carried out to assess the extent to which supervisory motivational strategies can transform construction workers to perform higher levels of productivity. While worker motivation has been proven to improve productivity globally, motivation was rarely implemented in South African conditions.

Abstract:
It is a well-established fact that increasing firms’ productivity is a necessary step to achieve sustainable growth and development. In fact, low levels of productivity, in particular in the registered manufacturing sector, represent a major challenge for the Indian economy. One key obstacle faced by these firms is the high level of employment protection, which makes it difficult to compete with the other sectors that largely rely on informal labour or flexible contracts. High labour protection increases the incentive for workers to be absent from the factories whenever they have access to bet

Previous studies on remote working have found positive effects such as increased productivity or higher levels of job satisfaction.
