Abstract:
Climate change and global warming have increased concerns over the influence of weather on workers health and productivity in construction projects. A significant number of studies can be found in the weather and productivity interplay area. The purpose of this paper is to review the recently published papers in this area to explore the trends of research and topics discussed and to determine knowledge gaps and directions for future research. Recent papers published between 20XX and 20XX were synthesized, reviewed and analyzed using bibliometric and text mining analysis. Based on the review, this study presented a taxonomy of studies consisting of seven clusters, namely productivity management, seasons, weather factors, participants conditions, uniform and clothing, work time and health and safety. This review paper sheds a light into the topics discussed in this area, the interrelationship between the topics and the significant topics that should be continued in the future. The paper highlighted the need to understand how weather influences workers psychological conditions and subsequently their productivity.
