Abstract

Suggestion systems have been used by organisations for centuries to elicit employee ideas and improve organisational performance. They have started gaining popularity in the middle-east in the last decade. This paper presents an analysis of different challenges associated with implementing suggestion systems in the Middle-east construction sector. Among the major issues highlighted that affect the implementation are high upfront cost and lack of lifecycle costing models, varying educational levels of employees, high employee turnover, different expectations for rewards and need for detailed feedback.
