Abstract

The problem of this research is the Malaysia manager is not well proper in applied the management behaviour and leader reward behaviour to react with weakest performance in site-based construction worker. Manager not well in performing would has influence the worker performance and company profit will downward. The objectives of this research were to study management behaviour impact the performance of site based construction employee, and to investigate leader reward behaviour impact on the performance of site based construction employee. This research concept is in form of measurable variable.Quantitative method was performed on the research report to be evidence of the directional of hypotheses. The data samples were collected from 40 respondents by using questionnaire. SPSS was performed to build up the statistic, histogram, scatterplot and pearson correlation to prove the objective relationship. Three hypothesis were had been tested and produced. (a) The greater of the management behaviour, the higher of the performance of site-based construction worker (b) The conducive of the positive reward behaviour, the higher the performance of sitebased construction worker. (c) The conducive of the punitive reward behaviour, the lower the performance of sitebased construction worker. Hypothesis of management behaviour had (r= .222, p< .05), hypothesis of positive reward had (r= .201, p< .05) and the last hypothesis punitive reward could be (r= -.132, p< .05). it is quite time consuming to investigate the management behaviour due to the common result is release with good management behaviour only would enhance high performance of sitebased worker. In Malaysia, the construction company should not too rely positive reward sometimes generate the punitive reward would enhance the performance of the construction industry in Malaysia. Good management behaviour such as management skills and time manage implemented by manager in order to enhance the performance of the site-based construction worker.
