Construction Workers’ Perception of Project Management, Work Environment, and Health & Safety

Abstract

The construction industry is labor-intensive, where project performance relies on a successful collaboration between construction workers between workers and managers. Hence, knowledge about workers’ job satisfaction is highly valuable for improving the efficiency of the construction industry. For that reason, a survey was conducted to understand construction workers’ perceptions of factors that influence job satisfaction. The questionnaire included 12 demographic questions and 27 questions. Data was collected in 2023, and almost 3400 workers answered the questionnaire. Several relevant insights surfaced during the data analysis. Among others, the more the workers are engaged and involved in planning, the higher the performance and job satisfaction. The more digital tools are used, the better performance and job satisfaction. However, workers find that digital tools are used too little. The younger workforce is more troubled than the older.
