Purpose: This study where accidents often occur in the construction industry and most construction companies try to reduce the number of accidents at work each year.

It also highlights the measures to be taken into account so that future contracts can go through with reduced accidents at work. As a basis for this work, the safety work within two construction companies in Västerås has been investigated with the help of interviews and site visits. The questions were used as a clue to get answers to the study to be investigated. A literature study has been conducted in connection with a case study. At the beginning of the literature study, previous studies were analyzed using websites and scientific articles on how good work environment works together with laws and requirements. The case study had been based on interviews and surveys with the help of two construction companies in Västerås so-called EQ Bygg AB and Byggmäster AB. Results: The results of the study showed how these two construction companies differed on how they handle safety at the construction site. One company was a little bigger than the other, they had a stronger measures in terms of safety and risk management because they were working on larger contracts. The other company EQ Bygg had a little less capital than Byggmäster, but according to the interviews, they also had strong points on how they take care of their safety work. Conclusions: The biggest challenge that both companies had in common was that time pressure led to most work accidents because it creates stress for the employees. Proposals for measures that can help with the study are that construction companies should have good planning and work preparations to reduce future work accidents. Regular risk analyses are also recommended for construction companies to do. Safety thinking and risk management are important for both the contract and the employees.

Even with advanced technology and new project management methodologies, construction company leaders continue to face challenges to improve labor productivity. This multiple case study was an exploration of the strategies that construction company leaders use to improve labor productivity in Doha, Qatar. The case population consisted of 6 construction company leaders operating in Doha, Qatar, who successfully identified and implemented strategies to improve labor productivity. The conceptual framework for this study was the expectancy theory. The data collection process included semistructured interviews and company documentation. Data were compiled and organized, disassembled into fragments, reassembled into a sequence of groups, and interpreted for meaning. Methodological triangulation and member checking bolstered the trustworthiness of those interpretations. Five themes emerged from these 6 construction company leaders: exploring, identifying, and evaluating issues affecting labor productivity; applying an appropriate leadership style; motivating the workforce; providing training and development; and implementing effective project management processes. By improving labor productivity, similar construction companies can complete construction projects faster and with lower construction costs. The implications for positive social change include the potential to lower construction costs and enable individuals with lower incomes in Doha, Qatar, to afford houses that they could not previously afford.

Os projetos de construção civil são de modo geral impactantes na sociedade, uma vez que afetam a vida das pessoas envolvidas, tanto positiva quanto negativamente. Os benefícios de projetos deste tipo são inegáveis, visto que geram emprego, renda e desenvolvimento. Todavia, os aspectos negativos também são consideráveis, pois alteram dramaticamente o meio ambiente. Hoje, vários autores defendem a ideia de que os projetos de construção civil devem incorporar valores éticos e sociais, porque deste modo, podem manter os melhores funcionários, melhorar a produtividade e evitar problemas legais. Dentro desta visão, o objetivo desta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal entender como empresas ligadas a projetos de construção civil desenvolvem e operacionalizam o tema responsabilidade social em seus projetos.

O desenvolvimento do trabalho foi realizado em três etapas: a primeira, uma revisão sistemática da literatura; a segunda, a aplicação de questionários online (survey) sobre o tema e a terceira etapa foi o tratamento análises estatísticas dos dados obtidos. Como resultado, foi identificado que as empresas ligadas a projetos de construção civil seguem a tendência empresarial geral, ou seja, atuam fortemente no entorno de suas obras. Em seus projetos, as ações de responsabilidade social são endereçadas aos funcionários e às comunidades locais, com grande atenção para questões de capacitação e educação; em seguida, há destaque para questões de direitos humanos; e, por último, questões de meio ambiente. As ações de responsabilidade social são contempladas no planejamento e orçamento de 51% dos projetos. Verificou-se que existem diferentes motivações iniciais para a atuação na área social dos projetos, variando de acordo com a localização geográfica do respondente. No Brasil, a grande maioria das empresas ligadas à projetos são motivadas pela crença de que as suas ações podem fazer a diferença nas comunidades dos entornos das obras. / Construction projects are generally impacting on society as they affect the lives of the people involved, both positively and negatively.
