ABSTRACT
The construction industry is a critical driver of infrastructure development and national economic growth. It is also one of the most complex and challenging sectors for managing people and administration because most of the work is organized as temporary, project-based assignments rather than stable, routine operations. In such a context, Human Resource (HR) and Administrative functions play a central role in maintaining workforce stability, legal compliance, accurate payroll, and smooth documentation practices.
This study provides a detailed examination of HR and Administrative functions in a selected construction company and evaluates how effectively these functions support employees and overall operations.
The research adopts a descriptive quantitative design. Data were collected from 100 employees, including workers, supervisors, engineers, and administrative staff. A structured questionnaire using a Likert scale was used to measure HR efficiency, Administrative efficiency, Employee satisfaction, and Operational efficiency. The data were analysed using statistical tools such as descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. These methods were used to identify patterns in employee perceptions, differences across job roles, and the predictive power of HR effectiveness on employee satisfaction.
The results indicate that employees generally have a positive perception of both HR and Administrative functions, with mean scores above the mid-point on the scale. There are significant differences in satisfaction levels among different job categories, suggesting that job role influences how HR and Administrative services are experienced. The correlation and regression results show that HR satisfaction has a strong positive relationship with overall employee satisfaction and is a significant predictor of it.
The study concludes that integrating HR and Administrative systems, strengthening compliance mechanisms, digitizing attendance and payroll systems, and improving communication channels can significantly enhance workforce satisfaction and operational performance in construction companies.
