Work motivation is an important factor in increasing productivity in the construction industry. The work motivation of supporting workers can increase if the needs that can be met are known so that it affects the productivity of workers properly. In accordance with the background, this study was intended to determine the level of needs in terms of Maslow's theory by conducting interview with 1(one) person as the Head of Corporate Human Resource and Building Implementation Modelling (BIM) and questionnaire surveys of 30(thirty) respondents on support workers for the "Green House" building construction project in city "X". The results showed that support workers have work productivity below the target and tend to stagnate, this is because there are motivational factors that have not been met, namely Physiological Needs while motivational factors that have been met in the form of Needs for Actualizations, Belonging / Social Needs and Safety Needs can make support workers work for a long period of time. This paper discusses the results of the research obtained and provides several proposals to increase the motivation of supporting workers which will affect work productivity.
