The Use of Goal-Oriented Responsibility System to Motivate Staff in Chinese Construction Companies

The rapid growth of Chinese construction companies today has emphasized effective management and employee motivation by adopting a goal-oriented responsibility system to align employee benefits with corporate goals and boost their motivation and performance. However, employees’ reluctance towards this system and ineffective supervision still exists in many Chinese construction companies, which eventually impedes project execution. As a result, this study examines how employee motivation using a goal-oriented responsibility system (GORS) is carried out in a Chinese construction company. We used purposive non-probability sampling to gather 200 employee data from Chinese construction companies through a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) using Five-Point Likert Scale. We discovered a strong correlation between goal clarity, commitment, and employee motivation. The findings of this study would assist managers of Chinese construction companies in understanding how to increase employee motivation.
