INTRODUCTION

In case of a lack of qualified construction employees, competition of such resources between construction organisations shall increase. Since builders are the most important factor in organisations of such nature, managers (owners) of business organisations are confronted with a serious problem of searching for highly qualified employees and their integration into the working group. Qualified, educated employees, or those possessing great work experience do not always entrench in working groups for various reasons. Companies try to attract employees, who often work at their competitor's company. Higher wages, education of personnel, and search of suitable employees are necessary to this aim.
