Abstract-Construction affects nearly all aspects of life, including home, leisure, school and work. Building is an integral factor in building an acceptable living standard in Libya, but it faces exceptional health and safety challenges. Building workers’ pay very highly for the chance to earn a living. These challenges and the ways to address them need to be addressed. Libya is one of the developing countries and its various construction sectors constitute important economic components. Although the Libyan construction sector is fast growing and developing, it is still confronted by competitive challenges. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate Career Commitment on Productivity in The Construction Sector of Libya as A pilot study. The context of this study was the construction industries in Libya. A total of 40 responses from employees were drawn from construction firms in Libya. This was achieved using a probability type sampling in which stratified random sampling was applied. The quantitative method has been selected using the empirical study with a designed questionnaire comprised of 26 questions and involved 40 respondents comprising of the Administrative, Construction worker, and Supervisors. The data analysis is divided into three phases: initial data analysis – the pilot study, statistical analysis to develop a model and to test the study hypothesis. All stages of data analysis use the method of Structural equation modelling. The results showed that Career Commitment is not significantly at the level of 0.05, the p-value is .258 which is greater than .05. Therefore, a hypothesis which assumes Career Commitment has a positive impact on Organizational Productivity was rejected. The most implication for this study, Theoretically, the main drive of this investigation was to evaluate Career Commitment on Productivity in The Construction Sector of Libya. Human resource management literature shows a link between Career Commitment and organizational productivity. One of the most important recommendations of the study since Career Commitment was an international notion besides requires to be considered for further investigations throughout a great amount of broader environmental well as researched within the scope of a greater and more comprehensive populace, it is recommended to future researchers to gather data from other research contexts, and to some other industries so that hidden variables can be identified as well as a comparative analysis can be carried out.
