The purpose of this research was to measure the effectiveness level of the policy that had been established and to identify the factors influencing the compliance level of construction workers with the Covid-19 prevention policy. Data was collected from construction projects in the Special Region of Yogyakarta province through offline means using the Likert scale. The data was subsequently analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS for the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results indicated that the Ministerial Instruction No. 02 of 2020 issued by the Minister of PUPR had been effectively implemented throughout 2021 and 2022.
