“…Job satisfaction has a significant impact on many aspects of organizational life, including the quantity of work, opportunities (financial growth, career growth, professional growth, personal growth, and salaries) [48]. Satisfied employees show better performance as compared to dissatisfied employees, and contribute significantly to the uplifting of their organizations [57,58]. Every organization is required to make necessary arrangements to motivate their employees, even if there is economic and political instability [59].…”

Organizations focus on human resources to improve performance as a result of high global competition and a dynamic business environment. In today’s competitive environment, employee performance and job satisfaction are critical to the achievement of a company’s goals. Job satisfaction is an organization’s unnoticed success. Employee performance and job satisfaction are powerful tools that help in continuously developing and improving organizational performance to achieve strategic objectives. Job satisfaction is critical to the overall productivity of any given industry. Job satisfaction is important for both the employer and the employee. According to studies, employers greatly benefit from satisfied employees because they are more productive. One of the most important goals of a company is to maximize employee performance to achieve those goals. As a result, the focus of this study was on identifying the factors of job satisfaction and employee performance. It also evaluated the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance in Pakistani construction projects. A detailed literature review was used to identify various factors, which were then shortlisted based on their relevance to the Pakistani construction industry by interviewing ten experienced practitioners. Totals of 11 job satisfaction and eight employee performance parameters were discovered. In total, 85 samples were collected as part of the data collection process via a questionnaire survey and statistically analyzed using multiple regression analysis. According to the results, all of the models have a high ability to compute the increase in employee performance criteria via the predicting variables. The overall models are significant because a value less than 0.05 indicates that they are. The study’s findings will assist practitioners in understanding the critical criteria that will increase employer satisfaction and improve performance.

“…Según Quispe & Cóndor (2021), el DL se abordó en sus inicios a partir del control de los colaboradores y su supervisión en el lugar de trabajo, posterior a ello, el término migró hacia una concepción medible que dio lugar a la evaluación del desempeño, mediante el cual se tenía en cuenta el logro de objetivos, posterior a ello, se agregaron elementos importantes como los beneficios para colaboradores y jefes. Uno de los primeros teóricos en abordar el concepto de manera formal es Sikula (1988), al respecto, el autor refiere que el DL corresponde a una atribución del valor que se les otorga a las acciones de los empleados, las cuales "son relevantes para las metas de la organización o para la unidad organizativa en la que la persona trabaja" (Aung et al, 2023). Campbell (1990), afirma que el DL se refiere a los medios mediante los cuales se logran los objetivos corporativos y que se relaciona con el trabajo del colaborador dentro de la empresa; sobre este autor, Bautista et al (2020), indican que presenta una definición integral, considerándolo como uno de los pilares teóricos más importantes sobre el tema.…”

“…However, the "no support" defensive measures taken by organizations have limited their opportunities for career growth, skill development, and other motivational support, which has led project managers to the feeling of being undervalued by their organizations. Aung et al [69] claimed that higher demotivation of managers in construction organizations results in less satisfaction and productivity. Furthermore, the absence of functioning employment and work laws in the industry has led to job insecurity and unfavorable working conditions, including unfair salaries, discrimination, insufficient health and safety protection, and lack of incentives.…”

Many studies have been conducted on the poor performance of the construction industry. Nigeria’s construction industry has been linked to project delays and cost overruns, leading to many abandoned construction projects throughout the country. These issues are largely attributed to inadequate project management practices and the underutilization of project managers. To address these challenges, an institutional analysis was conducted to examine the factors, within the institutional framework of the Nigerian construction industry, that hinder the effective utilization of project managers and the implementation of project management practices. Data were collected from the previous literature and were supported by data collected through semi-structured interviews in Nigeria. The collected data were coded into a four-level framework for institutional analysis. This method was employed to analyze the interrelationships between the identified embedded factors, institutional laws and regulations, and construction organizations, and to understand how their influence results in the underutilization of project managers. Deviation analysis was conducted as an additional method to categorize the impacts of the embedded factors at each institutional level and to determine how these impacts contribute to the underutilization of project managers in the Nigerian construction industry (NCI). It was found that the system of the underutilization of project managers consists of two subsystems: underutilization and lowering commitment. For the former subsystem, corruption, political influence, religious and tribal discrimination, and organizational culture were found to adversely influence the institutional structure of the construction industry in Nigeria. These factors weaken the governance mechanisms within the industry, leading project managers to prioritize corrupt practices over project needs. The ineffectiveness of existing laws and regulations exacerbates the situation, supporting unfair working conditions and contributing to the underperformance of project managers. This result leads to development at the top of the latter subsystem, with minimal incentives and limited opportunities for career growth within construction organizations. The findings hold significant potential for addressing systemic issues in the Nigerian construction industry, particularly the underutilization of project managers and organizational support measures to improve project management practices and mitigate the adverse effects of corruption.
