Abstract

The manpower in organizations is a complex resource to control and manage, particularly in the construction sector. The sector generally often experiences difficulty meeting project schedules and impacts financial performance due to a lack of skilled manpower to carry out the planned work. To overcome this problem, the study was conducted to formulate strategies to improve the performance of construction contractor companies through manpower management based on the Indonesian National Work Competency Standard (SKKNI), which is expected to improve the capacity of the manpower. The study was conducted through two stages: First by interviewing 10 stakeholders in manpower quality management and found that the manpower management problems faced are undisciplined and less creative manpower and there are still areas that still do not have manpower training centers for development sector. The second stage study was conducted through the distribution of questionnaires to 352 workers among contractor companies in Jakarta. The analysis was conducted using multivariate statistical analysis of the Structural Equation Model (SEM), in which there were 3 latent variables and 1 dependent variable. In this regard, the performance of construction contractor companies can be improved by paying attention to the strategy of merging between the three main influences namely: Construction SKKNI, Manpower Training and Internal Strength. The approach of this study is expected to contribute in improving the competencies of the manpower in construction based on the Indonesian National Work Competency Standard (SKKNI).
