Abstract : The implementation of a high-rise building construction project in Palu City sometimes encounters several obstacles that occur in the field. These obstacles will usually affect the quality, cost, and time factors that have been planned. One of the influencing factors is worker productivity. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence labor productivity in high-rise building construction projects in Palu City and to determine strategies for increasing labor productivity in high-rise building construction projects in Palu City. The research respondents were 100 people. Data collection techniques were through questionnaire surveys, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used Pareto diagrams and factor analysis. The results of the analysis show that factors that influence labor productivity in high-rise building construction projects in Palu City are labor wages, discipline and skills factors, construction labor factors, work methods and supervision factors, work equipment factors, work environment conditions factors, and construction material factors. Strategies for increasing labor productivity in high-rise building construction are highly dependent on the implementation of integrated strategies, starting from proper planning and scheduling, periodic monitoring and evaluation, to smooth team coordination. Workforce training and motivation, adequate facilities and equipment, and a conducive work environment also play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth construction process. By simultaneously optimizing all these aspects, construction projects can be completed more efficiently, safely, and on time, resulting in high-quality construction and maximizing the work output of the construction workforce.
