The nature of construction work processes allow crews and workers to follow their own practices in how they plan, organise and coordinate work. However, there is little research into the nature of crew work practices. This paper aims to unveil the influence of onsite crew work practices on productivity. An exploratory case study investigated work practices on a residential project involving two separate crews (of 18 and 23 workers) engaged in rebar placement for 112 columns each, which included a high-performing and an average-performing crew. A triangulated mixed methods approach to data gathering utilised site observations, individual and group interviews, and time measured work studies, to assess productivity of the crews. The findings indicate that the high-performing crew achieved 44% higher productivity than the average-performing crew and this manifested across specific tasks including rebar cutting, bending, stirrup fabrication and tieing. Five broad work practices were observed to significantly influence the above productivity differences: work preparation and execution strategy; group formation and stability; avoiding duplication of tasks; crew social cohesion; and internal and external leadership practices. These five practices are proposed as dimensions that can be used to measure crew productivity in ongoing research. In-depth understanding of crew based work practices will enable training of foremen and work crews in such practices to systematically develop high-performing crews.

现场施工人员的工作习惯及其对生产率的影响

施工工作流程的本质使船员和工人可以按照自己的做法来计划,组织和协调工作。但是,很少有关于机组工作实践性质的研究。本文旨在揭示现场工作人员实践对生产力的影响。一项探索性案例研究调查了一个住宅项目的工作实践,该项目涉及两名独立的工作人员(分别由18名和23名工人组成),他们分别进行了112根钢筋的布置,其中包括高绩效和中等绩效的船员。采用三角混合方法进行数据收集的方法是通过现场观察,个人和小组访谈以及按时间测量的工作研究来评估机组人员的生产率。研究结果表明,高绩效团队的生产率比一般绩效团队提高了44%,这体现在钢筋切割,弯曲,箍筋制造和系结等特定任务上。观察到五种广泛的工作实践对上述生产率差异产生了重大影响:工作准备和执行策略;组的形成和稳定性;避免重复任务;船员的社会凝聚力;以及内部和外部领导实践。提议将这五种实践作为可用于衡量正在进行的研究中的人员生产率的维度。对基于船员的工作实践的深入了解将使领班和工作人员接受这种实践的培训,从而系统地培养出高绩效的船员。箍筋制造和绑扎。观察到五种广泛的工作实践会显着影响上述生产率差异:工作准备和执行策略;组的形成和稳定性;避免重复任务;船员的社会凝聚力;以及内部和外部领导实践。提议将这五种实践作为可用于衡量正在进行的研究中的人员生产率的维度。对基于船员的工作实践的深入了解将使工头和工作人员接受此类实践的培训,从而系统地培养出高绩效的船员。箍筋制造和绑扎。观察到五种广泛的工作实践对上述生产率差异产生了重大影响:工作准备和执行策略;群体形成和稳定;避免重复任务;船员的社会凝聚力;以及内部和外部领导实践。提议将这五种实践作为可用于衡量正在进行的研究中的人员生产率的维度。对基于船员的工作实践的深入了解将使领班和工作人员接受这种实践的培训,从而系统地培养出高绩效的船员。以及内部和外部领导实践。提议将这五种实践作为可用于衡量正在进行的研究中的人员生产率的维度。对基于船员的工作实践的深入了解将使工头和工作人员接受此类实践的培训,从而系统地培养出高绩效的船员。以及内部和外部领导实践。提议将这五种实践作为可用于衡量正在进行的研究中的人员生产率的维度。对基于船员的工作实践的深入了解将使领班和工作人员接受这种实践的培训,从而系统地培养出高绩效的船员。
