DOI: 10.46988/IJIHRM.05.01.2024.001

Abstract

This study investigates the transformative impact of HR guidance and counseling on work environments within the construction sector in Saudi Arabia. Through a survey-based approach, primary data was collected to assess the influence of HR advice and support on working conditions. The findings underscored the significant enhancement potential of implementing new HR guidelines and support systems in construction companies. Embracing policies promoting diversity, respect, and equality emerged as crucial factors in fostering positive work environments. Furthermore, counseling initiatives and open discussions were identified as effective strategies in improving overall workplace satisfaction. Despite notable insights, limitations such as a small sample size and cross-sectional analysis were acknowledged. Additionally, the study focused on a single company and industry, suggesting avenues for future research expansion. Recommendations include enlarging the sample size, conducting longitudinal analyses, and exploring other industries to provide a more comprehensive understanding of HR guidance and counseling effects in the construction sector in Saudi Arabia.
