Recent studies on workforce diversity have preached that workforce diversity could have a positive impact on productivity if it is managed and utilized well. Due to the global trend of increasing workforce diversity in construction projects, it is crucial to understand the factors affecting workforce diversity and their impact on productivity for developing a sustainable environment for workforce diversity. However, little attention has been given to how workforce diversity may affect productivity performance in the construction industry. Thus, this study aims to assess the impact of workforce diversity on project productivity performance (PPP). Twenty‐one diversity factors were identified via literature review and validated by industry experts, followed by a survey conducted with 58 firms working in Singapore. The responses were analyzed and used to develop a partial least squares structural equation model. The outcomes from the model signified that the diversity aspects such as efficient decision‐making and countering the issue of skilled labor shortages had the highest impact in their respective categories of “Skill and education” and “Age and experience.” Therefore, this study contributes to the core body of knowledge and practice both in defining workforce diversity factors and in assessing the relationship between diversity factors and productivity. Furthermore, feasible strategies that match the factors prioritized by the level of the impact on PPP were proposed. These can help construction organizations to understand the untapped potential of workforce diversity and its impact on PPP, ultimately enhancing the productivity of the industry and sustainable diversity in the workplace.

评估劳动力多样性对建筑业可持续工作场所项目生产力绩效的影响

最近有关劳动力多样性的研究表明，如果管理和利用良好，劳动力多样性可能会对生产力产生积极影响。由于全球在建筑项目中劳动力多样性不断增加的趋势，因此至关重要的是要了解影响劳动力多样性的因素及其对生产率的影响，以便为劳动力多样性创造可持续的环境。但是，很少有人关注劳动力的多样性如何影响建筑业的生产率表现。因此，本研究旨在评估劳动力多样性对项目生产力绩效（PPP）的影响。通过文献综述确定了21种多样性因素，并由行业专家进行了验证，随后对58家在新加坡工作的公司进行了调查。分析了响应，并将其用于建立偏最小二乘结构方程模型。该模型的结果表明，诸如有效决策和解决熟练劳动力短缺问题之类的多样性方面在其各自的“技能和教育”和“年龄和经验”类别中影响最大。因此，这项研究有助于知识和实践的核心，既可以定义劳动力多样性因素，也可以评估多样性因素与生产率之间的关系。此外，提出了可行的策略，这些策略应根据对PPP的影响程度来优先考虑因素。这些可以帮助建筑组织了解尚未开发的劳动力多样性潜力及其对PPP的影响，
