title = "An Overview of Human Resource Management Practices in the Nigerian Construction Industry",
abstract = "Pursuant to the adoption of practices utilized in workplaces from other countries; and the dearth of study that adequately investigate human resource management practices (HRMPs) that enhanced the performance and productivity of human resources (HRs) and construction professionals (CPs) in the Nigerian construction industry, this research examined the general overview of the Nigerian construction industry HRMPs. A review of the literature was employed and sourced from published journals and conference articles from Web of Science and Scopus databases. The review's outcome revealed no HRMPs model developed for the Nigerian construction industry, no standalone national competition policy or law on HRM-related issues, and no independent authority in Nigeria in charge of implementing HRM laws or policies. Further, local content law is absent for the Nigerian construction industry to develop and promote HR participation in the industry. The review findings signified the importance of a developed HRMP model and policies recommended for promoting HRM practices in the Nigerian construction industry. The outcome of this review will be of immense benefit to HRs and CPs for improved performance and productivity in the Nigerian construction industry and Africa as a continent.",
