Abstract

As one of the key factors in the construction industry, labor has a significant impact on the performance of projects, especially in crisis situations where the industry faces numerous challenges. This paper examines the effect of labor force on construction performance in crisis situations and analyzes the factors affecting this relationship. In this regard, challenges such as the reduction of the workforce, changes in skills and abilities, and the psychological pressures caused by crises are examined. Also, the role of the workforce in crisis management and adaptation to new conditions is also considered. The results of this study show that investing in training and developing the skills of the workforce, improving working conditions, and creating supportive environments can help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of construction projects. This paper seeks to improve the status of the construction industry and strengthen its resilience to future challenges by providing practical suggestions to improve construction performance in the face of crises.
