Abstract

Productivity is also a very important indicator in the construction industry as it can measure economic growth and the efficiency of each related production activity, either at the industrial level or at the corporate level. Technical factors indeed have a great impact on productivity, but in order to improve productivity in the actual construction industry, various productivity factors must be analyzed first, and the efforts to improve productivity at the project level are more important than the efforts to improve productivity at the construction industry level, which are addressed from a macro perspective. This study was designed to provide basic data for efficient productivity management activities of the project by selecting priority management factors through the causal analysis of the factors and the elicitation of the productivity degradation factors at the construction site to improve the quality of the construction industry.

생산성은 산업차원, 혹은 기업차원에서 경제성장과 각 관련 생산 활동의 효율성을 측정할 수 있는 지표로서 건설 산업에서도 매우 중요한 지표이다. 기술적인 요인이 생산성에 큰 영향을 미치는 것이 사실이지만, 실제적인 건설 산업의 생산성 향상을 위해서는 다양한 생산성 영향요인에 대한 분석이 선행되어야 하며, 거시적인 관점에서 다루어지는 건설 산업 차원에서의 생산성 향상 노력보다는 프로젝트 차원에서의 생산성 향상 노력이 더욱 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 생산성 향상의 효율성을 높이기 위해서는 우선적으로 생산성에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대한 분석 과정이 필요하며 개선효과가 큰 분야에 집중적으로 투자할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 건설 산업의 질적 향상을 위해 건축공사 현장에서의 생산성 저하요인 도출 및 요인 간의 인과관계 구조분석을 통해 우선적 관리 요인을 선정함으로써 프로젝트의 효율적인 생산성 관리 활동을 위한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있도록 제공하고자 하였다.
