The construction industry is stressful and worker psychological well-being (PWB) concerns are on the rise with high prevalence of mental health problems.However, there is currently no clear framework or system in the mainstream construction literature to guide management practices such as allocating resources, optimising work systems, and supporting worker well-being. In this study, a state-ofthe-art review was conducted on PWB constructs and the associated theoretical perspectives. This review of theories and dimensions aims to provide a more complete account of the factors associated with PWB and provide more systemic guidance for organisations.
