Evaluation of the Challenges of Human Resource Management Practices in Construction Companies in Awka South, Anambra State.
Abstract
Human Resource Management (HRM) has a significant influence in the construction industry. Although construction technologies and management techniques have advanced rapidly, project managers still need to pay more attention to people management. Human resource management (HRM) is the practice of recruiting, hiring, deploying and managing an organization's employees. Human resources still account for the majority of costs in most construction projects (Dainty, & Loosemore, 2013). Construction projects normally require a longer time span and more parties are involved (Chan, Scott, Lam, (2002)). Human Resource issues have positive and adverse implications for construction industries in all countries (Ofori, 2018). It is also a significant aspect of the whole planning and project management process in construction projects, (Mawhinney, 2012). The construction industry is usually associated with dynamisms, caused by increased global price, competitiveness, development of technologies, changing industry and employment legislation, and changing workforce composition, as a result project managers are prompted to utilize their employees more effectively to gain competitive advantage and project success. In recent years there has been a widespread realization that improvement of HRM performance is a critical element to achieving improvement in efficiency, productivity and cost effectiveness in the construction industry. Describe how the situational model, the staff performance model and the socio-technical model of HRM are being implemented in the construction industry (Howes and Tah 2013).
