Labour productivity has been the topic of study since last few decades due to its great contribution in the project success and organization’s growth. Various factors causing poor productivity of labour have been identified by several re-searchers worldwide. Labour productivity has been one of the least studied areas for the building sector projects within the construction industry of Pakistan. The main aim of this article is to review the previous studies since last one decade and identify the critical factors affecting labour productivity in building sector projects. To achieve the aim, a questionnaire survey based on the identified factors was carried out. The data obtained from 133 successfully returned questionnaires, was analysed by using Average Index (AI) method with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings of this research highlight 15 topmost factors affecting labour productivity including Shortage of materials at first, followed by Shortage of equipment, Lack of supervision, low wages given by employer, old and inefficient equipment, overtime, delays in salary payments, Experience of workers, rewards mechanism, reworks, height of working place, improper work planning, age of the worker, Intensity of lighting and ventilation and weather conditions respectively. The study also gives some suggestions and recommendations to overcome the labour productivity issue. This paper will help the construction stakeholders and researchers as guideline to focus on the key factors that affect the la-bour productivity in building sector projects, which ultimately have been reducing the project’s success and hindering the organizational growth as well.
