Construction is one of the largest and most people-intensive
industrial sectors. In many countries, however, construction is
also one of the most highly criticized in terms of its employment
practices and industrial relations. People and culture are too
often seen as variables that must be manipulated in the cause of
improved productivity. This important new work provides an
essential corrective to the current literature by focusing on
people and culture rather than sector efficiency. It presents the
latest thinking from a diversity of perspectives derived from a
major ESRC seminar series and invited contributions from leading
researchers. Its interdisciplinary approach draws together industry
and research and is international in its relevance. Through several
multidisciplinary themes, People and Culture in Construction:
explores the industry's labour market and the major influences on
employment patterns examines how to improve the image and reality
of the construction sector as an employer looks at the forces
shaping the industry and implications for its stability considers
the current composition of the workforce and the potential impacts
of workforce diversification analyzes the impact of government
targets and policies on construction working practices and culture
investigates how to address the skills shortfall currently
affecting the industry's performance.
