This research endeavors to examine the intricate relationship between human resource management and communication management in Iraqi construction projects, exploring their impact on project productivity. Beyond its primary objectives, the study aims to identify key challenges and limitations in implementing effective communication and human resource management practices in the Iraqi construction sector. Understanding these challenges provides valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers, informing strategies to overcome obstacles and enhance project productivity. The research methodology involves an initial survey using a main questionnaire, focusing on three key areas: internet communication in human resource management, the influence of internet quality on construction project management, and factors affecting work productivity. The sample size, determined using Morgan's Table, requires a minimum of 248 participants. The questionnaire is distributed to engineers, managers, and technicians, with the number of respondents meeting the required sample size. Data analysis utilizes the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) for each variable to identify underlying factors. A first-order confirmatory factor analysis is performed using the Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) program, creating a structural model incorporating three variables and their associated factors. Out of the initial 64 factors, 21 are included in the final model, refined based on modification indices (M.I) output to improve fit. Results indicate a significant positive effect (0.92) of internet communication quality on labor productivity, while the impact of labor resource management is relatively negligible (-0.07). The size effect of variables on human resource management is 0.05, suggesting a small but non-zero effect. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of internet communication quality in enhancing labor productivity in construction projects and emphasize the need for effective human resource management practices in the industry. This study contributes valuable insights for project managers and practitioners in construction sector.
本研究致力于考察伊拉克建筑项目中人力资源管理与沟通管理之间的复杂关系，探究它们对项目生产率的影响。除其主要目标外，该研究旨在识别伊拉克建筑行业在实施有效沟通和人力资源管理实践方面的关键挑战和限制。了解这些挑战为从业者和政策制定者提供了宝贵的见解，为克服障碍和提高项目生产率的策略提供了依据。研究方法包括使用主要问卷进行初步调查，重点关注三个关键领域：人力资源管理中的互联网沟通、互联网质量对建筑项目管理的影响以及影响工作生产率的因素。使用摩根表确定的样本量至少需要248名参与者。问卷分发给工程师、经理和技术人员，受访者数量满足所需样本量。数据分析使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS），对每个变量进行探索性因子分析（EFA）以识别潜在因素。使用矩结构分析（AMOS）程序进行一阶验证性因子分析，创建一个包含三个变量及其相关因素的结构模型。在最初的64个因素中，最终模型纳入了21个因素，并根据修正指数（M.I）输出进行了优化以提高拟合度。结果表明，互联网沟通质量对劳动生产率有显著的正向影响（0.92），而劳动力资源管理的影响相对较小（-0.07）。变量对人力资源管理的规模效应为0.05，表明有较小但非零的影响。总体而言，研究结果强调了互联网沟通质量在提高建筑项目劳动生产率方面的重要性，并强调了该行业有效人力资源管理实践的必要性。本研究为建筑行业的项目经理和从业者提供了宝贵的见解。
