However, the construction industry in Malaysia faces many problems such as low productivity, poor quality and standards, cost overruns, uncontrolled and unrealistic schedules, conflict between owner and architect, abandoned and unfinished private and public construction projects So that, the research conduct is for the purpose to determine the relationship between construction management and labour productivity and to investigate the effect of construction management towards labour productivity Questionnaire survey through email to contractor firms is applied for this study and finally get 19.4% of 330 sets. A descriptive analysis was performed to tabulate the respondent background. The results by using the correlation analysis revealed that CIS, document and cost, time flow, software, SHASSIC, accidents, instruction and detail information are significantly correlated with labour productivity. Regression analysis revealed that CIS, cost plan and SHASSIC among the quality, cost and, safety and health construction management are predicted to the labour productivity. This study contributes body of knowledge and practical aspect. This research is limited to the contractors who located in Kuala Lumpur and most of them are paying less interest to academic research. Time constraint also caused that the response rates are low. Thus, future study should improve the response rate so that the research findings can be generalised.
