    abstract = {Iran’s construction industry has been rarely explored to identify the motivation factors which directly
affect productivity. This study concerns an investigation of the factors influencing construction productivity
using the questionnaire tool. The questionnaire has been distributed in >35 construction sites to collect field
data and find the motivation factors in the vision of construction site personnel. The survey showed the main
five operator motivation factors are Fairness of pay, on-time payment, company’s prestige, employer relation
and incentive and financial reward. As the next step the importance of motivation factors and related condition
in Iranian construction industry has been discussed. The motivation factors in different work groups had been
examined and the survey result shows a meaningful difference between the ideal job condition and the present
work condition in the personnel view. In our view the expectation of personnel and the current condition of
motivation factor must be taken into account for better decision making. Such an approach helps the manager
not only assess the important level of each factor but also to decide the focus of improvement action on the
more effective factors which lead to increase productivity of construction activities.}
