Abstract

In this study, in order to analyze the stress sources and stress-coping strategies of employees in construction enterprises, to explore the influencing factors of enterprise technical management cost, and to offer suggestions for mental health education of employees, 372 employees of Shandong Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd. were selected for a questionnaire survey. The influences of stress sources and stress-coping strategies on the mental health of employees were compared, based on different demographic variables. The evaluation model was constructed using the matter-element analysis to rank the factors influencing the enterprise technology management cost. The results showed that the stress value of work characteristics was the highest (4.26 ± 0.511), followed by the organizational structure and atmosphere (4.15 ± 0.382); stress-coping strategies at the individual level (1.84 ± 0.315) scored higher than that at the organizational level (1.67 ± 0.248) (P < 0.05). Notable differences were observed in balance between work and family between males and females (P < 0.05); in work characteristics, role orientation, personal relationship, and balance between work and family between subjects of different ages (P < 0.05); in work characteristics, and balance between work and family between the married and the unmarried (P < 0.05); and in role stress and work characteristics between subjects in different positions (P < 0.05). The evaluation results revealed that the factors influencing the technology management cost of enterprises included price index, development cost, fixed investment proportion, power equipment rate, mechanical artificial intelligence, labor cost, rate of technical equipment, the output value, informatization of technology management, and national policy. In conclusion, the two major sources of stress for employees in Luoyang Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd. were as follows: (1) work characteristics and (2) organizational structure and atmosphere. Besides, many employees adopted the stress-coping strategies at the individual level, and enterprises needed to strengthen the psychological health education for employees at the organizational level. In practice, the enterprise needed to add importance to the development of mechanical artificial intelligence, informatization of technology management, and national policy.

Highlights

Stress is a very common mental health phenomenon in the present society, which refers to the physical and mental stress response of people, caused by external environmental factors (Waters et al, 2020)
In practice, people focus on refining production skills at the individual and organizational levels, but almost ignore mental health and occupational stress of employees (Robinson et al, 2019)
The service institutions specializing in mental health education of enterprise employees have not been truly popularized in China

Summary

Introduction

Stress is a very common mental health phenomenon in the present society, which refers to the physical and mental stress response of people, caused by external environmental factors (Waters et al, 2020). With the acceleration of the integration of global economy, the competition among enterprises is intensifying, and the fast-paced production eventually increases the pressure on employees, resulting in various mental health problems (O’Halloran et al, 2020; Rodríguez et al, 2020). Proper stress is naturally beneficial and can motivate individuals to work harder, whereas excessive and long-term stress will negatively affect physical and mental health of employees, and even cause a series of group problems, such as slacking, which prevents enterprises from operating normally (Dohi et al, 2019; Lambert et al, 2019; Rahman et al, 2019). In practice, people focus on refining production skills at the individual and organizational levels, but almost ignore mental health and occupational stress of employees (Robinson et al, 2019). The stress of employees was discussed in the study, so as to provide a theoretical basis to carry out mental health education and alleviate stress of employees
