As the most extensive constituents of human resources for construction projects, construction employees impact the production process in various ways with attendant effects on productivity. Therefore, this survey examines how skill acquisition influences employee productivity as its major determinant with a view towards enhancing delivery of quality project outputs. Data for seventy-five (75) survey participants, selected by convenience sampling (with sixty-two (62) returned valid) and comprising construction professionals (Architects, Builders, Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, Land Surveyors, Estate Surveyors and Valuers), nonprofessionals (Artisans, Craftsmen and Labour Assistants), and external stakeholders (Clients and End Users) in Bayelsa State, were sourced quantitatively through a questionnaire. SPSS 24 was employed for descriptive analysis of participants' demographic background and inferential statistics for relative significant influence. The results reveal the following dimensions of employee productivity to be primarily impacted: enhanced proficiency – reduce and minimise errors; increased efficiency – perform tasks quickly and accurately; improved quality – equipped for delivery of quality goods and services; engender competitiveness – healthy competition among the workforce; reduced downtime – troubleshoot problems, quick maintenance, minimising downtime; and efficient equipment usage – maximising equipment utilisation (with the last two sharing the same ranking). The study concludes that skill acquisition significantly enhances employee productivity by its capacity to reduce errors, enable faster and more accurate task execution, and ensure consistent delivery of quality outputs. Furthermore, the CPBOs are enjoined to prioritise acquisition of such skills that positively influence these dimensions of employee productivity, then design and adopt complementary training initiatives. Finally, the existing body of knowledge on employee productivity is enriched by examining and revealing its various dimensions influenced by skill acquisition as its major influencer.
