The study of the motivation of construction workers is limited to a relatively small body of knowledge. Although there is\nconsiderable research available regarding motivation and productivity, few researchers have provided a comprehensive analysis\non the motivation of construction workers. The research stated that productivity in construction has not improved compared\nto other industry sectors such as manufacturing. This trend has been echoed in publications throughout the past five decades,\nand suggested that motivation is one of the key factors impacting productivity. This paper offers a comprehensive review of the\npublished work that directly links the key wordsââ?¬â?construction and motivation. The findings have been presented in five themes,\nthat is, motivation models, environment and culture, incentives and empowerment, and worker management. This paper concludes\nwith two methods suggested by previous researchers to improve motivation of construction workers: (1) relevant worker incentives\n(intrinsic or extrinsic) and (2) improved management practices, specifically regarding communication with workers.
