Abstract
Wage is a very important issue not only for the workers' current living but also for the future laboring landscape. As of 2014, it is reported that about 290,000 workers suffer from delay in payment of wage. The construction industry is particularly labor-intensive, which implies that delay in payment of wage is a serious problem. Despite this fact, in terms of the delayed payment of wage most studies have been conducted on the improvement of a system to resolve delayed payment in exclusion of labor workers' awareness and thinking. Thus, the purpose of this study is to understand construction labor' awareness and analyze the effectiveness of the resolution step of the delayed payment of wage based on construction labors' awareness. In the research result, more than 30 percent of all construction labors and managers are never aware of the settlement procedure of the delayed payment, and it appears that the resolution step system needs to be greatly improved. In conclusion, it is expected that this study will be utilized as fundamental data for the settlement procedure of the delayed payment, and the influence of delayed payment on construction labors' safety behavior and productivity should be further studied in the future.
