• AIM AND OBJECTIVE

• RESEARCH STRUCTURE


INTRODUCTION

• Construction is the world's largest and most challenging industry. Human resource today has a strategic role for productivity increase of any organization, and this makes it superior in the industrial competition

• Productivity is the one of the most important factor that affect overall performance of any small or medium or large construction industry

• There are number of factors that directly affects the productivity of labour, thus it is important for any organization to study and identify those factors and take an appropriate action for improving the labour productivity


WHAT IS PRODUCTIVITY?

• Productivity is the ratio of output to all or some of the resources used to produce that output. Output can be homogenous or heterogeneous. Resources comprise: labour, capital, energy, raw materials, etc.

Productivity=OutputLabour cost


VARIOUS FACTORS A F F E C T I N G LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY

• According to Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) they highlights 16 factors affecting labor productivity

1. Overtime

Scheduling of extended work days or weeks exceeding a standard eight-hour work day or 40- hour work week lowers work output and efficiency through physical fatigue and poor mental attitude.

2. Crew Size Inefficiency

This is when the optimal crew size is altered by adding or deleting crew members. When workers are added or deleted from a crew, it breaks up the original team effort and rhythm of the crew and results in loss of productivity.


VARIOUS FACTORS A F F E C T I N G LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY

3. Hazardous Work Area

This is caused when working in an area that is classified as hazardous, requiring special safety equipment and clothing. Restrictions may limit time and exposure of workers to the area, resulting in less time on tools in the area.

4. Tool and Equipment Shortage

This is caused when there is insufficient quantity or quality of tools and equipment to meet the needs of the project.


1. Study and discuss various factors affecting labor productivity in construction industry in Sri Lanka

2. To statistically analyze the factors affecting labor productivity.

3. To make recommendations to improve labor productivity in construction.
