The construction industry has many problems; one of the main complications is its low productivity. There have been many technological efforts for trying to improve it, but they work for specific problems identified, but not for the whole supply chain. It is suggested that a different management approach could improve the problems the construction industry faces. Lean construction tools are known for improving labor productivity while increasing job satisfaction, which is also related to labor productivity. This research aims to design three questionnaires to measure these relations, and give some initial insights about the relations. The designed questionnaires help measuring the relations between the three concepts; starting or finishing the work on time, being in a hurry, feeling confident doing a task and being pressured to do a job are some ways of measuring the relations between lean construction tools, job satisfaction and labor productivity.
