Analysis of the Factors Affecting Construction Labour Productivity in National Capital Region - India: Structural Equation Modelling Approach

Abstract

Productivity improvements and growth of construction-based sector is major indication for the health of national economy and so Governments are giving lot of importance to them. As construction activities are so closely inter-woven with many other economic activities, the improvement in this sector will improve the performance several other sectors like construction materials, real estates, infrastructure and Banking and financing. To analyze these interrelationships a theoretical structural model is constructed with six variables, management control, finance, external situations, project implementation, labour and building materials. The objective is to understand the influence of these factors on construction labour productivity and their various paths of influences on labour productivity performance.
