ANALYSIS OF THE MOTIVATION LEVEL OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECT WORKERS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BASED ON MASLOW'S THEORY USING THE BAYESIAN BELIEF NETWORK METHOD

Abstract

Labor productivity is a very important factor in construction because it will affect the successful implementation of construction projects, therefore a decrease in worker productivity is highly avoided. The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has made changes in the implementation of construction due to the new policies that apply. The Jakarta International Stadium project experienced problems in terms of manpower during the Covid-19 pandemic, including a reduction in manpower and working hours due to restrictions on the number of workers. However, the project still has a target completion time so that there will be no longer delays. These demands affect the motivation of workers, which will then affect their productivity. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Bayesian Belief Network (BBN), to determine the magnitude of motivation during the pandemic based on the dominant variables that influence it. Based on the results of the study, the dominant variables of the five need factors based on Maslow's Theory that affect motivation are the provision of supplements to workers, health checks before work, good relations between workers, good work direction, family support, training program procurement, and decision making. The amount of motivation for the Jakarta International Stadium construction project workers during the Covid-19 pandemic was 72.90. Strategies to increase the motivation of construction project workers during the Covid-19 pandemic include providing supplements, increasing the number of health check officers, workers can interact with families virtually, training, and providing independent understanding and direction in making decisions at work.
