摘要

许多发展中国家的各个行业部门一直面临着各种挑战,这些挑战与基于工作的培训做法不佳导致劳动力绩效低下有关。本研究旨在通过应用系统的工作培训内容,评估建筑业劳动力的绩效。通过文献综述和专家访谈/讨论,采用综合研究方法,以问题为中心,以行动为导向,在一个框架内开发与劳动力培训要素和绩效评估相关的有效工具、系统和实践。通过一项新的建筑监理培训计划,对斯里兰卡 23 个建筑项目的 200-300 名工人进行了培训。结果显示了劳动绩效与量化值显著变化的详细模式。总体量化值表明,与起点相比,在培训期的六个月内,工人的绩效提高了近 60%。据报告,工人在软技能(90%)和材料处理能力(70%)方面的表现有相当程度的提高。在与基础科学/技术相关实践(55%)、简单工程/技术相关实践(44%)、施工方法和技术(56%)、绿色实践(36%)和基本管理方面(34%)有关的其他能力要素方面,表现也有一定程度的提高。与其他类型的项目相比,受雇于道路/桥梁项目的工人的整体绩效值明显较低。研究结果进一步说明,经过培训的劳务人员的理论知识和操作技能都得到了很好的提高,从而使他们的工作标准从在严密监督下工作提高到在一般监督下工作,并有一定的自主权。此外,研究结果还有助于控制本地企业对外籍劳工的过度倾向,通过为劳工提供终身学习和职业福利/机会,消除扩大本地劳动力供应的潜在障碍。在可预见的未来,研究结果将对其他发展中国家和行业如何管理劳动力以提高工作效率产生重大影响。

A Constructive System to Assess the Performance-based Grading of Construction Labour through Work-Based Training Components and Applications
Various industry sectors of many developing countries have been facing various challenges associated with low performance of labour due to poor work-based training practices. This study aims to assess the performance of labour in construction by applying systematic work-based training components. A comprehensive study methodology was adopted through literature reviews and experts’ interviews/discussions, with problem-focused and action-oriented communication approaches to develop effective tools, systems and practices related to labour training elements and performance assessments within a framework. Through a new construction supervisory training programme, the developed practices were applied to 200-300 labourers working on 23 construction projects in Sri Lanka. The results show the detailed patterns of the significant changes in labour performance with the quantified values. Overall quantitative values indicate a nearly 60% increase in the performance of labour within six months of the training period compared to the starting point. A considerable level of performance improvement was reported in the soft skills (90%) and material handling abilities (70%) of labourers. A moderate level of performance improvement was identified in other competency elements related to the application of basic science/technology-related practices (55%), simple engineering/technology-related practices (44%), construction methods and technology (56%), green practices (36%) and fundamental management aspects (34%). The overall performance values of labourers employed in road/bridge projects were found that noticeably lower compared to the labourers who worked on other types of projects. The results further describe the well-improved theoretical knowledge and operational skills of the trained labourers, which has uplifted their job standards from working under close supervision to working under general supervision with some autonomy. Moreover, the study findings contribute to controlling the excessive inclination of local firms toward foreign labour by unlocking the potential barriers to expanding the local labour supply with lifelong learning and career benefits/opportunities for labourers. The findings will have a significant impact on how other developing nations and industries must manage their labour to obtain higher work efficiency in the foreseeable future.
