Abstract

In every work, there is a significant factor in the construction sector that could affect the labor productivity of workers. This is utilized in construction planning and scheduling, cost control, worker performance, estimating, and accounting. The most difficult issue in the construction sector is the productivity rate since it has an impact on worker productivity and construction quality. The loss of productivity is a result of several causes, including those related to labor, external factors, management, resources, and other factors. In fact, these factors frequently result in further disruptions that influence production and are out of the contractor's direct control, resulting in lost output or the need for more work hours to complete. The purpose of this study is to pinpoint the variables affecting labor productivity in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga. To understand the typical factors at play and be able to identify which of all the variables is the most important, it will be computed to establish what factor has the most impact on the labor productivity of employees and professionals. Additionally, a quantitative approach will be used to gather data. The proponents of the study thereof conclude all the gathered data from the City of San Fernando, Pampanga using a quantitative study claimed the ranks of those forty-two (42) factors are affecting the laborer’s productivity in construction projects in the said city. Furthermore, the top factor garnering forty-two-point eighty-six percent (42.86%) under the Resources Factors, which is the “Increase in the price of materials” affects the labor productivity in CSFP. In addition to this, the proponents of the study organize a framework of recommendations and/or options of intervention for the company and company-client against the fluctuation of material costs. Furthermore, this framework of recommendation can help companies to be systemized, organized, and updated within its internal factors onto the external factors such as market price increase. While the company-client framework will give them options to consider in dealing with such a market price increase. Hence, a recommendation was suggested by the proponents to future researchers, use mixed method, expound your borderline, consider more factors on labor productivity, and analyze the impact of the increased price of materials.
