SUMMARY:78. Investigating Factors Influencing Construction Worker Producti
 vity:  The Case of the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:Poster\n\nTala Yunis, Issam Srour, and Karim Zahed (American U
 niversity of Beirut)\n\nThe construction industry still faces unique chall
 enges in fully replacing human labor with automation. This is due to the e
 xtensive reliance on manual work across a wide range of activities, includ
 ing but not limited to tiling, masonry block laying, framing, and plasteri
 ng. Another common issue in construction is the prevalence of delays in pr
 oject submissions. These delays stem from various factors directly related
  to labor productivity. Moreover, project management teams often face cons
 iderable difficulties when attempting to gauge manpower and productivity l
 evels. \n\nOur objective is to identify the factors that most significantl
 y affect labor productivity on construction sites in the Middle East by re
 viewing previous research on this topic. This review aims to answer:  \n\n
 1. How do studies assess factors influencing productivity among constructi
 on workers in the Middle East? \n2. Is there any existing research on the 
 use of wearable or sensor-related devices in the construction industry in 
 the Middle East?\n\nTrack: Aging, Augmented Cognition, Children's Issues,
