Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of strategic human resource planning on construction project management performance, focusing on infrastructure contracting companies. Strategic HR planning plays a critical role in enhancing project outcomes by addressing key performance dimensions such as cost efficiency, timeliness, quality, and safety. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews with quantitative data obtained through structured surveys. The findings demonstrate that strategic HR planning significantly improves project management performance, achieved by aligning workforce strategies with organizational goals, integrating Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) frameworks, and adopting green supply chain management practices. Green HR practices were found to positively influence sustainability outcomes. The research offers practical recommendations for construction firms seeking to optimize their HR strategies to achieve enhanced efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness.
