Abstract

There are rising concerning the failure of construction planning to achieve its goals in spite of the substantial resources allocated to it. To justify the aforesaid statement, this research was carried out to examine the sustainability of HR planning for a construction project. Furthermore, a quantitative approach was adopted and descriptive and inference statistical analysis was obtained through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS Version 20). Interestingly, the majority of the literature findings was justified by the empirical findings noting that there is correlation between the two findings except where the respondent chose combination of the causes of failure in HR planning on construction projects. Fundamentally, the research set the best practices for factors to look into when performing project HR planning for construction projects and the essentials of new techniques and tools to be adopted. Conclusively, the research indicated that through improving the practicality of Project HR planning by construction organisations, performance both at organisational and project level will also improve. The research findings further recommends justification for implementing policies, procedures and guidelines that will improve and make sustainability of human resource planning for construction projects more visible and adaptable to construction projects.
