Construction has been regarded as one of the most stressful industries, and the COVID-19 pandemic has deteriorated this situation. This research developed and tested a model of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic perception on job stress of construction workers. Both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping were considered as mediators. Empirical data were collected using a detailed questionnaire from the Chinese construction industry. The results showed that pandemic perception was significantly related to psychological and physical stress. Emotion-focused coping was mainly triggered by pandemic fear and job insecurity, while problem-focused coping was mainly triggered by organizational pandemic response. Furthermore, the effects of pandemic fear and organizational pandemic response on job stress were mediated by problem-focused coping. Finally, the theoretical and practical significance, research limitations, and future research directions of this study are discussed.
建筑行业一直被认为是压力最大的行业之一,而 COVID-19 大流行使这种情况恶化。本研究开发并测试了一个关于 COVID-19 大流行感知对建筑工人工作压力影响的模型。问题聚焦应对和情绪聚焦应对都被视为中介。实证数据是通过中国建筑行业的详细问卷收集的。结果表明,大流行感知与心理和生理压力显著相关。情绪聚焦应对主要由对大流行的恐惧和工作不安全感引发,而问题聚焦应对主要由组织对大流行的反应引发。此外,大流行恐惧和组织对大流行的反应对工作压力的影响是通过问题聚焦应对来调节的。最后,讨论了本研究的理论和实践意义、研究局限性和未来研究方向。
