• Abstract:
  The author argues that applying some of the philosophy and practices of play to construction management would enhance creativity, humour and job satisfaction at work, leading to more successful projects. The paper promotes the concept of a play society, emphasising living creatively and rearranging economic and social aspects of life to support this. It sees a playful approach as bridging the gap between results-driven management and meaning-driven employees in the world of construction. Project development may be viewed as a game (with clearly defined rules) rather than as merely a set of procedures to be followed rigorously. The play analogy of the construction process is appropriate in that it has specific rules (i.e. conditions of contract and relevant regulations) and objectives to be achieved in terms of completion to time, cost and quality targets. The concept of a "Catholic" Play Ethic is proposed as a counterpoint to Weber's Protestant Work Ethic. The Work Ethic has been described as a tough adversary because it represents the spirit of capitalism. This is useful to the governing classes of early twenty-first century market democracies because it has the time-honoured effect of imposing social order. The current UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown is a foremost advocate of this approach to industrial activity, following in the footsteps of the likes of Thomas Carlyle, John Calvin and St Paul. The author presents his personal views on how the construction industry might benefit from a more playful approach to its core business whilst enhancing relationships with its clients. The broad thesis is that the ideal machine bureaucracy is ill-suited to the rather chaotic (in the true sense of the word) realm of a construction project. It is suggested that the application of a more playful ethos to the serious business of construction management should cope better than the present approach, given the inevitable challenges and obstacles encountered during the evolution of a project.
