Abstract

Human Resource planning for construction project is described as a way of managing human resources within a growing nature of construction industry. Nonetheless, management of human resource is an extremely stimulating task. However, in spite of the substantial resources allocated to construction planning, there are rising concerns over its failure to achieve its goals and different application of planning strategies. It is against this backdrop that this research was carried out to examine the sustainability of Human resource planning for construction projects to justify the aforesaid statement. Furthermore, the researchers adopted a quantitative approach that provided a broader understanding of the research. SPSS Version 20 was used to obtain the descriptive and inference statistical analysis. Interestingly, majority of the literature findings were justified by the empirical findings noting that there is correlation between the two findings except where the respondent chose combination of the causes of neglect of HR planning on construction projects stressing that one cause cannot significantly neglect the process on construction projects. Conclusively, the research results indicated that through improving the practicality of Project HR planning by construction organisations, it would contribute significantly towards improving performance both at organisational and project level. The findings recommended guidelines for improving the visibility and adaptability of sustainable HR planning for construction projects and further provided justification for implementing its policies and procedures.
