- Abstract:
Before a theory of construction operative motivation can be proposed that the relationship between motivation and productivity is established. This paper describes investigations aimed at establishing this relationship with particular reference to bricklayers. The investigation revealed that there is an element of motivation in every bricklayer regardless of his working environment and also confirm the nineteenth century optimal motivation theory by Yerkes and Dodson. No relationship was found between motivation and work rate but motivation has a significant influence on the proportion of working time bricklayers spend productively.
