    Evaluating the impact of poor team training on construction project delay (A case study on a construction of an ultra-modern recreational center at Gyakiti)
    (2021-07-07) Agyen, Frimpong Agyekum;
    Construction projects have been characterized by delays. A major cause of this is poorly trained team members. Hence, this research is aimed at evaluating the effect of poor team training of construction workers on construction projects. The objectives of this research were to identify the significant benefits of proper team training in construction project delay, to identify the significant negative effects of poor team training on construction workers and to recommend training programs that would enhance human resource in construction projects. Literature review was conducted to discuss previous studies on some benefits of proper team training in construction project delay and some effects of poor team training on construction workers. Questionnaires were developed from the literature review and were used to collect data. The data collected was analyzed statistically; the means of the data were calculated to generate the significant benefits of proper team training as well as the significant effects of poor team training. The results from the analysis showed that, the significant benefits of proper team training in construction project delay are: addressed weakness; increased productivity; and adherence to quality standards. Also the significant effects of poor team training on construction workers are: unhappy employees; low productive value; and unsafe work environments. Further, some training programs such as technology-based learning, simulators, on-the-job training, coaching or mentoring, group discussions, and role-playing and toolbox meetings were then recommended to enhance team performance in construction projects
