| Abstract |
This study aims to assess job stress levels among construction engineers in various construction industries and propose strategies for reducing
job stress to enhance their future work efficiency. First, a quantitative methodology was developed for evaluating job stress among
construction engineers in each industry. After analyzing job stress based on this methodology, the results indicated that designers in design
firms and engineers in construction firms experienced relatively lower job stress. Most construction engineers reported various physiological
effects such as headaches, fatigue, and shortness of breath due to job stress. They also mentioned psychological effects like anger, frustration,
nervousness, and excitement, along with a decline in individual work efficiency and job satisfaction. To alleviate job stress among
construction engineers in the future, companies should proactively identify tailored job stress relief programs and make substantial financial
investments at the organizational level. |
