Abstract
This research surveyed, ranked, and assessed the value of hiring conditions from labor only painting subcontractors’ perspectives. The sample group was labor only painting subcontractors who worked in eight housing estate projects in Bangkok and its neighboring areas. All 129 participants worked for a real estate public company for more than one year. Data from the sample group were collected between February and May 2018. The results indicated that the first five hiring conditions which significantly affected the painting subcontractor’s job taking decision were wage, extra money condition, retention period condition, frequency of payment condition, and amount of work per contract condition. The effect of extra money condition, retention period condition, frequency of payment conditions and amount of work per contract condition for each job on the labor only painting subcontractors’ job taking decision could be accounted for with a pay increase of 2.50-5.00 baht/sq.m., 0.83-5.00 baht/sq.m., 0.00-0.83 baht/sq.m., and 0.00-2.50 baht/sq.m., respectively.
