Accordingly, this thesis is to investigate the case of construction industry.
Construction industry is highly labour intensive. Other than recruiting activities, it has to focus on retention strategies such as reward system, employee benefits and employee relationship to sustain its competitiveness. Nevertheless, when retention, employee morale or performance results fall short of expectation, reward system, benefit or other management systems’ designs are usually to be blamed.

Generally speaking, construction industry is an industry full of human touch in which the relationship between leaders and subordinates is much more influential than regulations.

Also, the path analysis indicates there are significant mediation effects between leader-member exchange relationships. The leader-member exchange relationship is key to organization climate, supervisor’s emotional intelligence against job satisfaction and performance respectively and the latter two factors can be enhanced by means of changing LMX.
