| Abstract | Effective motivation programs are considered as an approach to motivate employees toward organizational goals. Construction engineers, as project specialists, influence construction productivity substantially. Therefore, it is necessary to explore their motivation. A survey was conducted in Yunnan province, China on the basis of expectancy theory of construction engineer motivation as well as their needs and satisfaction on the corresponding needs. The findings of their needs and satisfaction illustrated they were less satisfied; and the results based on expectancy theory indicated that the motivational climate is very poor. Considering the construction industry reform in China, the findings were discussed on the background of the characteristics of China's construction industry to conform to its current status |
