Abstract
The aim of this study was to appraise the effects of human factors on the mobility of skilled construction workers in Nigeria. The study employed descriptive survey technique to elicit data. From the results of this study, goal setting, work conditions, nature of construction work tasks, workers’ attitude towards improving their skills, role of construction organizations towards improving workers’ skills and workers’ educational background are all very significant factors responsible for the mobility of skilled construction workers in Nigeria. Following the findings of this study, it is recommended that: Effective and easily achievable goals should be set for skilled construction workers; Work conditions should be designed to be worker-friendly; Skilled construction workers should be given tasks commensurate with their capabilities and specialization; Workshops and seminars should be made compulsory to enlighten construction workers on the need for self-improvement; Construction organizations should endeavour to inculcate training programs as part of further skills development for their workers; and workers should endeavour to attain basic educational qualifications commensurate with their chosen trades before applying for positions.
