- Abstract
- The objective of this report is to critique the literature describing the effects of an overtime schedule on construction labor productivity. The need for such a summary arises because, relative to the published literature, little is known about the origin of the overtime data, type of project, surrounding circumstances, and amount of data. Yet widespread assumptions have been made that the data and conclusions are reliable. This report clarifies the above aspects for each data set.
