Abstract
In the developing countries, there is a common lack
of experience in construction management implementation.
This study introduces a methodology to evaluate the human
resources management processes in construction projects. The
study used inputs, outputs, and tools and techniques
recommended by the Guide to the Project Management Body
of Knowledge [1]. The opinions of experts in the field of
construction projects are collected regarding considered
managerial parameters and tools. The analytic hierarchy
process is used to evaluate the order of each parameter. The
performance of each process is determined based on the
importance weight and the proposed efficiency of each
variable. The results of the implementation show that there is
considerable progress in project planning, but team
development and team management need much more attention.
The study presents a methodology for human resources
assessment in the construction industry but the findings are
applicable to Kuwait and the similar developing countries.
