The construction sector is one of the most complex and problematic
arenas within which to manage people. As a result, the
applicability of much mainstream human resource management (HRM)
theory to this industry is limited. Indeed, the operational
realities faced by construction organizations mean that all too
often the needs of employees are subjugated by performance
concerns. This has potentially dire consequences for those who work
in the industry, for the firms that employ them and ultimately, for
the prosperity and productivity of the industry as a whole. In this
new edition of their leading text, Andrew Dainty and Martin
Loosemore have assembled a collection of perspectives which
critically examine key aspects of the HRM function in the context
of contemporary construction organizations. Rather than simply
update the previous edition, the aim of this second edition is to
provide a more critical commentary on the ways in which the
industry addresses the HRM function and how this affects those who
work within the industry. To this end, the editors have gathered
contributions from many of the leading thinkers within construction
HRM to critique the perspectives presented in the first edition.
Each contributor either tackles specific aspects of the HRM
function, or provides a critical commentary on industry practice.
The authors explain, using real-life case studies, the ways in
which construction firms respond to the myriad pressures that they
face through their HRM practices. Together the contributions
encourage the reader to rethink the HRM function and its role in
defining the employment relationship. This provides essential
reading for students of construction and project management, and
reflective practitioners who are interested in theoretically
informed insights into industry practice and its implications.
