ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of welfare on the performance of building site workers at Mainland construction company” (MCC). The study specifically aimed at (i) evaluating the welfare activities embarked by the management of Mainland construction company (MCC) in ensuring the performance of their building site workers (ii) examining the current performance level of building site workers at Mainland construction company (MCC) in the execution of their daily operational activities (iii) evaluating how welfare packages affect the performance of building site workers of Mainland construction company in their daily operational duties and (iv) analyzing the challenges faced by the management of Mainland construction company (MCC) in the implementation of welfare packages. A quantitative survey with the use of questionnaire was carried with 200 building site workers. Data were analyzed using statistics package for social sciences (SPSS) version 17.0. The study revealed that although there are some welfare packages for building site workers at Mainland construction company such as Salaries, Job Security, Promotion, Training and Development, Working Aids/Tools/Good Physical working Environment, Recognition, Allowances, and Retirement Package, the system is not well developed and implemented since it is centred only on the top management of the construction and concealed from the general worker. Also, the workers of MCC were therefore not fully satisfied with the welfare system and as such it has not reflected on their performance since the study found their performance to be low with regard to the welfare packages. Some major challenges the management faced in facilitating an effective compensation and remuneration packages for their worker includes insufficient funds, difficulty in adequately involving the large number of worker in the compensational plan. It is recommended that management of construction institutions should embark on appropriate welfare measures to increase workers‟ performance.
