EFFECT OF QUALITY OF WORKING LIFE ON PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AND MARITAL SATISFACTION AMONG MARRIED RESIDENT FEMALES AT FACULTY OF MEDICINE – ZAGAZIG UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The construction industry is stressful and worker psychological well-being 5 (PWB) concerns are on the rise with high prevalence of mental health problems. 6 However, there is currently no clear framework or system in the mainstream 7 construction literature to guide management practices such as allocating resources, 8 optimising work systems, and supporting worker well-being. In this study, a state-of-9 the-art review was conducted on PWB constructs and the associated theoretical 10 perspectives. This review of theories and dimensions aims to provide a more complete 11 account of the factors associated with PWB and provide more systemic guidance for 12 organisations. Drawing on the three-dimensional taxonomy of PWB in Inceoglu et al. 13 (2018), this study identified five themes of PWB antecedents in the construction 14 community: motivational, relational, working environment, personal attributes and 15 social cognitive. Findings in this study could contribute to both PWB theory 16 2 development and management practices. Theoretically, this review introduced more 17 clarity to PWB theories in the construction literature, linking different dimensions of 18 PWB constructs with their antecedents. This also allows for identifying future research 19 avenues to expand the boundaries of existing body of knowledge. Practically, 20 management practices were offered to support management, policy and decision 21 makers to optimise and improve health and well-being strategies in the construction 22 industry. 23
