Interfaces of Digitalization with Labor Productivity in Construction: A Thematic Literature Review by Roadmapping Components

Digital technologies hold a prominent position in construction industry's agenda by offering avenues for enhancing process and project management. The technologies address substantial shortcomings in productivity, quality, and sustainability performance, which arise from the construction industry's heavy reliance on labor and its tendency to generate significant waste. Digital technologies change construction operations, both in-situ and throughout the whole life-cycle of a construction project. The goal of this study is to investigate the connections between labor productivity and digitalization in the construction industry. This is achieved by a bibliometric analysis utilizing the Scopus database as the primary source of relevant publications. Grounding on a Prisma Flow approach, this study retrieves publication data using Bibliometrix (Biblioshiny) package in R programming language. Findings indicate that there are few studies for the relationship between digitalization and labor productivity in the construction industry.
