“…A result of a resource-based view of an organisation is that age diversity among workers impacts organisational performance. Productivity of workers connected with the age diversity among employees was also discussed by the authors [63]. They researched the impact of employee age and industrial experience on extrinsic psychosocial stressors that may influence the productivity of workers.…”

Age management is becoming an increasingly important part of strategic human resources management practices and can ultimately lead to a competitive advantage. Research results confirmed that a strategic focus on the efficient use of all age categories of employees yields retention, the successful achievement of organisation goals, development, and, ultimately, a competitive advantage. The aim of this article is to identify and evaluate approaches to age management practices in organisations in 1271 organisations in the Czech Republic. Quantitative research was carried out in selected organisations operating over a three-year period. Data was gathered from these organisations and evaluated using descriptive and multidimensional statistics. The results show that those organisations focusing on the application of age management practices achieved a competitive advantage regardless of size or sector of the organisation. Statistical analysis (χ2 test, Cramer’s V, factor analysis) on survey data shows that many of these organisations achieved significant perceived benefits from the application of age management. The approach to age management application varies in organisations depending on whether it is an internal branding of an employer or response to a crisis. Organisations either use of best practices to implement age management or it is a carefully planned process in advance. Follow-up research can focus on the use of age management in crisis management or employer branding. This study is a non-experimental quantitative correlation analysis utilising longitudinal empirical data.

“…One of the success factors for construction projects is determined by the level of labor productivity (Hech, 2018;Kodri et al, 2018;Shehata & El-Gohary, 2011). Many construction projects have failed due to labor factors (Maqsoom et al, 2020;Mohd-Rahim et al, 2016). Windopo (Windapo, 2016) emphasizes that the failure of construction projects occurs due to a lack of skilled and quality labor.…”

The issuance of Minister Regulation of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) No. 24/ PRT/ M/ 2014 concerning Competency-Based Training Guidelines in the Construction Services Sector is a strong effort by the government to increase the capacity of sustainable construction human resources in order to produce productive and competent human resources. Therefore, the workforce must-have requirements and a series of specific competencies to carry it out effectively and efficiently. Moreover, these competencies must be under the work they will do. The Kirkpatrick Model is used to evaluate the results of training and learning programs and rates against four levels of criteria: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. This research aims to find out what variables affect the effectiveness of competency-based training based on Kirkpatrick's four levels and see whether the competency training activities effectively increase human resources in construction services. A total of 64 questionnaires were then distributed to relevant respondents who attended the competency-based training held in West Sumatera during the 2017-2018 periods. From the results, there are 4 Kirkpatrick level variables that affect the effectiveness of training, namely the level of reaction (21 indicators), learning (6 indicators), behavior (7 indicators), and results (11 indicators). The variable that shows the most effective results is the variable level of learning as much as 47.51%, followed by results (44.56%), learning (47.51%), and behavior (29.27). It can be concluded that the workforce competency training conducted in West Sumatera from 2017 to 2018 was still less effective.

“…A huge amount of investments is involved in the infrastructure toward the huge profits and developments. This cost-based industry highly depends upon the productivity, and turnover of the construction manpower as well as the construction manpower productivity depends upon the effective use of manpower [1,2]. Improper workforce planning is the significant cause of project delay in construction projects [3].…”

“…Physical health condition of laborers like physical fatigue is one of the critical factors influencing the manpower allocation process as well as productivity ratio [1,9,10]. Negative behaviors like drinking habits and poor physical and mental health conditions affect the construction field workers and the performance flow [11].…”

“…Effective supervision criteria enhance the productive hours of the task in construction job sites [9]. Impact of the age and experience is psychologically related to the stressors and the labor productivity especially on labor positioning; furthermore, the aged workers are the key factors of poor productivity based on their physical and mental health as well as challenging work environment [1]. Shortage of skilled workers causes the time overruns in construction projects [4,14].…”
