Abstract
Psychosocial hazards adversely affect the mental health of construction practitioners. However, limited construction studies have examined the effect of the interplay of psychosocial hazards on mental health. This research comprehensively explored the qualitative and quantitative relationships between psychosocial hazards and mental health in the construction industry through meta-analysis, semi-structured interviews, and Bayesian network modelling. The research findings are expected to provide valuable insights for construction practitioners in effectively managing psychosocial hazards and creating mentally healthy workplaces.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
