A Review on Stress among Site Engineers in Construction Industry

R. Praveen, N. Nandhini

Abstract


Construction industries approximately 80% of stress arise during planning, scheduling and execution of work among site engineer at site. As the performance carried out in character, different assessment and behaviour have to be carried out surprisingly. These spontaneous actions are mostly voted for out by the site in charge or the civil site engineer at edifice place. In that they have enormous number of task including job intricacy, any fickle failure is happen, physical hazards, poor crisis management mechanisms, fragmentation of work, harassment activities and Inter role conflicts are involved during site management in construction industry. The main objective of this study to examine the factors influencing stress on middle level managers in construction industry. This study was more predominantly concerned with stress, sources of stress and its causes among site engineer at three level constructions. Data can be collected at three level of construction. From the narrative its clearly shows the stress will crop up while supervision the site in these situation are communication problems, Inadequate room for innovation and bureaucracy purpose, poor workgroup relationship, failure of work and they suggest to execute some training programme, stress relieving techniques to site engineer to reduce the stress level and also recommended some personal characteristics to improve their leadership level in construction industry.
