The construction industry, known for its dynamic and labor-intensive nature, increasingly depends on effective Human Resource Management (HRM) practices to drive performance, productivity, and organizational sustainability. This study involves systematic review which analyzes 59 peer-reviewed articles on HRM in the construction industry published between 1983 and 2022. Using PRISMA 2020 guidelines and Scopus database retrieval, the review identifies key HRM practices including training, recruitment, performance appraisal, compensation, and work environment management. It further highlights strategic HRM approaches like leadership, diversity, and knowledge management. Conceptual models and theories such as RBV and AMO frameworks are examined for their role in enhancing workforce and organizational outcomes. Findings emphasize that while foundational HRM practices remain central, strategic and theory-driven initiatives are crucial for sustainable performance. Research gaps identified include the need for empirical validation of conceptual models, focus on SMEs, and integration of diverse workforce strategies. The study offers actionable insights for construction professionals and researchers to strengthen HRM practices in a dynamic industry context.
