A well-planned construction schedule not only helps in outlining the pace of work but also how the work will get done. Two different kinds of project scheduling methods are employed for a sample road construction project; Critical Path Method (CPM) and Linear Scheduling Method (LSM). The aim of this study is to briefly evaluate and compare network programming techniques and linear scheduling techniques for a sample road construction project, by comparing Critical Path Method (CPM) and Linear Scheduling Method (LSM).

One drawback of the Line of Balance (LOB) method is the unavailability of commercial software featuring its fundamentals. Studies pointed out this drawback as a factor that prevents a more frequent use. Recognizing the potential of the LOB method for managing construction projects, the objective of this paper is to propose a methodology for modeling Line of Balance schedules using CPM software like MS Project®. Previous researches developed an integrated Critical Path Method (CPM) and LOB model in an analytical nongraphical manner. This paper advances LOB modeling one step further to deal with other possible logical dependencies between activities. The presented framework can be used to develop a scheduling model that can link input and output data to commercial scheduling software; MS project®. The results of model application on a case study show the model ability in dealing with all possible relations with lags between activities and data transfer to MS project®.

To protect workers' safety and health at the construction site is becoming a core value of the construction site. A safer working environment is created when risk factors on site work are recognized in advance. This study targets the worker's 1-day cycle activity in Linear Scheduling. In addition, this study suggests a Bayesian network model that presents risk factors and probability of accidents. Accidents come down to a final disaster through causal relationship from various existing risk factors. The physical risk factors of the workspace are the most direct cause of accidents. This study uses the Bayesian network model to compare the probability of accidents caused by changes in the safety environment of the work from the risk factors that have been eliminated and those that have not been eliminated. Statistical probability values confirm that accident risks can be remarkably reduced when all possible risk factors are reviewed and eliminated in advance.

Thailand has entered aging society and many organizations, both public and private started to pay more attention to older employees. Aged employees played more important roles in organizations today as they can be the main human resources of organizations that are full of skills and experiences. The paper, hence, aimed to 1) study the level of work efficiency of aged governmental officers; and 2) to study the relationship between motivating factors and work efficiency by applying the quantitative research method, using questionnaire as a main data collection. The sample was 170 governmental officers aged 55 years old and above. The finding presented that aged governmental officers had a high level of work efficiency, and human resource practices that correlated with work efficiency were compensation (0.326), followed by fair performance evaluation procedure (0.267), and recognition and respect (0.231) respectively at the significance level of 0.01.
