The Impacts of Cultural Diversity on the Performance of Construction Projects in the City of Manila

Understanding cultural diversity in the construction industry is crucial to a project's success. The lack of awareness of cultural differences has a direct influence on communication between construction workers and their managers. This might have a direct influence on the quality, safety, and duration of construction projects. The goal of this research will be to show how cultural diversity affects building project performance and to develop a strategy to improve construction project performance despite cultural diversity. The researchers gathered data online by utilizing the questionnaire created through Google Forms to 150 employees in Ironcon Builders & Development Corporation, Intramuros, Manila. Descriptive-correlational approach will be used in this study to describe variables and the natural relationships that exist between and among them. Based on the result, the majority of the employees from Ironcon Builders & Development Corporation, Intramuros, Manila were 31-40 years old, male, single, Filipino, Catholic, and were College undergraduates. Management and workforce factors have a “high” influence, while the materials and equipment, health and safety factors, and motivation factors have a “very high” influence. Given the values of the correlation between the questions, the researchers found out that there is no significant relationship between the demographic profile of the respondents and the factors influencing the construction of sites.
