Abstract

Respect for People (RFP) is a crucial element in Lean Construction philosophy, along with continuous improvement. However, despite its importance, research on RFP is still limited. Therefore, the following article aims to identify good practices, benefits, and barriers generated by its implementation on the construction site. The research begins with a literature review, following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) criteria. Subsequently, with the list of good practices, benefits, and barriers, nine lean experts were interviewed, validating the information obtained from the literature review. This process identified eleven good practices, eleven benefits of implementing RFP in construction projects, and nine barriers. The upcoming research will serve as a valuable contribution for professionals seeking to implement good practices of RFP on the construction site and researchers aiming to delve deeper into this concept.
