Abstract: The manpower in organizations is a complex resource to control and manage, particularly in the construction sector. The sector generally often experiences difficulty meeting project schedules and impacts financial performance due to a lack of skilled manpower to carry out the planned work. To overcome this problem, the study was conducted to formulate strategies to improve the performance of construction contractor companies through manpower management based on the Indonesian National Work Competency Standard (SKKNI), which is expected to improve the capacity of the manpower. The study was conducted through two stages: First by interviewing 10 stakeholders in manpower quality management and found that the manpower management problems faced are undisciplined and less creative manpower and there are still areas that still do not have manpower training centers for development sector. The second stage study was conducted through the distribution of questionnaires to 352 workers among contractor companies in Jakarta. The analysis was conducted using multivariate statistical analysis of the Structural Equation Model (SEM), in which there were 3 latent variables and 1 dependent variable. In this regard, the performance of construction contractor companies can be improved by paying attention to the strategy of merging between the three main influences namely: Construction SKKNI, Manpower Training and Internal Strength. The approach of this study is expected to contribute in improving the competencies of the manpower in construction based on the Indonesian National Work Competency Standard (SKKNI).

Abstract: The more autocratic management is threatened by employee involvement in decision-making. Furthermore, failing to respond to employee compliments is an example of how failure to do so decreases employee involvement in decision-making. Commercial banks in Kenya still lack the required structures to properly conduct their businesses, owing to a lack of involvement of bank employees, or at the very least their employee representatives, in decision-making processes. Therefore, the present study aimed at determining how employee delegation affects employee performance in commercial banks in Nairobi County, Kenya. The descriptive survey research design was used in this investigation. The commercial banks in Kenya were the study's target population, and three banks were involved that included; Kenya Commercial bank, Cooperative Bank and Barclays bank in Nairobi City County. The respondents were employees from these selected banks who were 569 in total number. To ensure that all instances are represented, a stratified sampling method was employed to sample respondents as per their departments. The respondents were chosen using a simple random selection procedure. A total of 235 respondents were sampled. For the objective of gathering primary data, questionnaires were employed. The questionnaires were piloted to 14 respondents. The validity and reliability of the questionnaires were tested by conducting a pilot study. Analyis of data in quantitative form was done using descriptive analysis. In addition, inferential analysis constituting of analysis of multiple regressions was done to assess how one variable influences the other. The study established that employee delegation had a positive and significant influence on employee performance in commercial banks in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study concluded that delegation enables managers to focus on more important tasks or tasks for which they are better suited and encourages managers to learn how to trust their subordinates and once subordinates successfully complete a task, they have more trust in the future in their capabilities. The study recommended that the managers of the commercial banks should choose tasks to delegate based on employee’s skills, preferences and availability and let the employee know why this task is important.
