“…A research that investigated the association between safety and quality using information and communication technology discovered that this technology might lead to a 90% reduction in risky behaviors (Shohet et al 2019). Maintaining high levels of safety through communication can have synergistic benefits among workers (Rani et al 2022). Communication between management and workers on safety is critical for improving safety performance (Alsamadani et al 2013;Chan et al 2014).…”

Promoting awareness among construction workers about safety practices helps reduce occupational injuries. Therefore, the aims of this study are: First, to know which factors affect significantly the satisfaction level in each SC dimension using regression models. Second, to sort the factors in each dimension based on their significant effect on the satisfaction level. Third, to rank the dimensions based on their correlation with the overall satisfaction regarding safety. In the current study, 296 construction workers participated. The value of the Cronbach's alpha for all dimensions was 70%, and for each one it was between 71% and 86%, which indicates suitable level of reliability. According to the results, the sequence of the most significant dimensions were: The safety priorities and capabilities of management, management empowerment in safety, peer trust, trust in safety systems, and employees' safety commitment. The outcomes of this study will assist safety managers and decision makers in allocating resources on the most significant factors in the construction sector.

The objective of this paper is to explore the dynamic factors of the work–family interface (WFI) of construction professionals in South India. It also aims to develop a model of the factors that influence the WFI. This study identified seven factors from the literature: work environment, family, stress, personal satisfaction, work culture, top-level acceptance, and work–family balance. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed among the construction professionals in South India. Data analysis was performed using SPSS. The mean standard deviation and shape measures (skewness and kurtosis) revealed that personal satisfaction (3.55) was rated the top factor for WFI, followed by work–family balance (3.15), stress (2.91), and work culture (2.83). The study found that the work culture was not significantly correlated with work environment, family, stress, personal satisfaction, or top-level acceptance. The developed SEM model emphasises the need to pay keen attention to the work environment and the work–family balance among the construction professionals in India. Management should consider these factors to design standard policies to improve the WFI and design work–life balance strategies to create stability in the lives of construction professionals. The current research is limited to only two cities in Kerala and Tamil Nadu in South India. More studies must be carried out for more states in India to better understand the current situation of WFI as there is limited evidence of studies on the WFI of construction professionals in India. Therefore, the findings of this study fill the existing knowledge gap and provide a clear insight into improving the mental and social well-being of construction professionals in the Indian construction industry and construction professionals in other developing countries.

A good workplace well-being environment can increase employee resilience, work engagement, project performance, and productivity, as well as reduce sick days. Research suggests that physical, psychological, and social factors are the underlying factors for a good workplace well-being However, the underlying factors for workplace well-being at construction sites may differ. This study aims to validate the relationships between underlying factors (i.e., physical, psychological, and social) and workplace well-being at construction sites. A questionnaire survey was developed from a list of factors influencing workplace well-being and distributed to construction professionals. The collected data was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validatethe relationships between the underlying factors and workplace well-being at construction sites. The analysisrevealed that physical, psychological, and social factors are also influencing workplace well-being at construction sites. Researchers and industry practitioners can use these findings to confidently establish strategies to increase workplace well-being of construction workers.
