Abstract
Construction projects have been characterized by delays. A major cause of this is
poorly trained team members. Hence, this research is aimed at evaluating the effect
of poor team training of construction workers on construction projects. The
objectives of this research were to identify the significant benefits of proper team
training in construction project delay, to identify the significant negative effects of
poor team training on construction workers and to recommend training programs that
would enhance human resource in construction projects. Literature review was
conducted to discuss previous studies on some benefits of proper team training in
construction project delay and some effects of poor team training on construction
workers. Questionnaires were developed from the literature review and were used to
collect data. The data collected was analyzed statistically; the means of the data were
calculated to generate the significant benefits of proper team training as well as the
significant effects of poor team training. The results from the analysis showed that,
the significant benefits of proper team training in construction project delay are:
addressed weakness; increased productivity; and adherence to quality standards.
Also the significant effects of poor team training on construction workers are:
unhappy employees; low productive value; and unsafe work environments. Further,
some training programs such as technology-based learning, simulators, on-the-job
training, coaching or mentoring, group discussions, and role-playing and toolbox
meetings were then recommended to enhance team performance in construction
projects
