• W2753408087 abstract "Occupational stress has become a major issue of the modern world, and is one of the most commonwork-related health problems in Europe. It has become a growing concern in many industries, not tomention the construction industry. As the construction industry is known to be challenging and highlycompetitive, it is important to ensure that personnel have the ability to perform at its best. Work-relatedstress has been identified as a major factor that impacts the success of an organization, as it negativelyaffects the organization’s productivity and efficiency, which in turn is costly to the company. Besidesthis, it is also believed to be a large contributor to reduced work satisfaction and increased absenteeism.Considering that most individuals spend a significant amount of time at work, their behavioural-,physiological- and psychological health are playing an important role both to the organization and theemployees themselves.Nevertheless, managing work-related stress is a complex and challenging task for organizations. Onedifficulty in understanding how pressures and occupational stress impacts the personnel within theconstruction industry is the scarcity of empirical research in the area. Due to the importance of peoplemanagement and the well-being of construction personnel for the success of an organization, this studyaims to investigate the main causes and effects of occupational stress. A case study of a well-knownconstruction company in Sweden is conducted, in order to get a better understanding of the perceptionsof construction personnel. The thesis is based on a mixed methodology, with the combination of aqualitative and quantitative research approach. The study involves both face-to-face semi-structured, indepth interviews as well as an online staff survey, in order to acquire reliable, in-depth responses aswell as to receive a higher response rate that could reflect the current situation.The main findings of this study were that construction personnel suffer from a high level occupationalstress, particularly those who work on site. There are many various work-related risk factors within thisindustry, and the factors that were recognized as the most problematic are (i) amount of work, (ii)amount of overwork, (iii) not enough experienced personnel and (iiii) lack of organizational support.However, lack of control over one’s work was identified as being the factor that caused mostemployees’ distress, especially for construction professionals who work on sites and need to deal withunexpected events on a frequent basis.The work-life balance is low, especially among the personnel working on site, and many of them havesuffered from negative consequences as a direct result of their jobs. The major issue seems to be theinsufficient recovery among construction employees. There are no strategies that are sufficient andadequate enough at the time, and this calls for a change. It is necessary to create and implementworkable strategies that can reduce the occupational stress levels and increase the level of employeesatisfaction and retention. For those strategies to be successful, they cannot focus on an individual’sbehaviour in isolation, instead more efforts should focus on the organizational environment and theindustry as a whole. Especially as it has been recognized that the stress levels and well-being ofconstruction personnel have not improved, rather retrograded." @default.
