Abstract
A study conducted with the aim of identifying factors affecting motivation of Iranian construction operatives is reported. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey. Utilising the relative index ranking technique, the identified factors were prioritised for further detailed analysis and discussion. Results indicate that the five most important motivation factors of Iranian construction operatives are, in descending order: "fairness of pay", "incentive and financial rewards", "on-time payment", "good working facilities" and "safety". Despite operatives' expectations, these factors were rarely gratified on the sites surveyed. Construction managers would have to be sensitive to these factors in order to sustain the drive for higher construction productivity in Iran. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
