Abstract-The Construction sector impacts virtually all aspects of our lives – home, leisure, school, and workplace. The construction is an integral part of creating and maintaining an acceptable standard of living in Libya, yet the Construction sector faces extraordinary health and safety challenges. Construction employees are paying dearly for the opportunity to earn a living. These challenges and the means to meet these challenges need attention. Libya is being one of the developing countries and its different Construction sectors are substantial components of the economy. Although the Libyan construction sector rapidly grew and developed rapidly, they still face challenges that affect their competitiveness. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate Career Risk 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 38 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 Risk is not significantly at the level of 0.05, the p-value is .719 which is greater than .05. Therefore, a hypothesis which assumes Career Risk 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 Risk on Productivity in The Construction Sector of Libya. Human resource management literature shows a link between Career Risk and organizational productivity. One of the most important recommendations of the study since Career Risk 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.
