Productive activities are those activities that are directly devoted towards completion of project.
Indirect activities such as, rework or correction, work delays due to material delays, training
sessions and strikes, are called as Non-Productive activities. These non-productive activities take
up the potential labor resources which otherwise could be directed for productive work towards
the project. Some of the non-productive activities are necessary for smooth functioning, but in
most cases poor management would lead to non-productive hours and thus affect the overall
productivity.
3. Unionized Labor in most cases have a positive Jobsite productivity. Unionized labor are trained
apprentice in their respective trades, so often they are more productive than the unskilled
counterparts. At the same time the wages of these unionized labor is on higher side compared to
non-unionized ones. This lead to employers screening workers more carefully to obtain higher
quality labor and to substitute other inputs for labor in the production process. Also Union hiring
halls serve to increase efficiency when large numbers of workers are needed by making adequate
supplies of labor available on relatively short notice.
