- Abstract:
A survey was conducted of unionized construction workers in a major midwestern city to collect data on their perceptions of the jobs and environment within which they perform their jobs. Construction workers have growth needs that are similar in strength to other blue collar workers. The individuals with stronger needs should respond to jobs that are high in motivating potential. Contractors need to improve worker satisfation with job context. The qualifications of the workers appears to be more than adequate for the great majority of construction tasks. Contractors need to structure jobs to improve their motivating potential. As currently structured, construction jobs are low in motivating potential.
