Práce ve stavebnictví a duševní pohoda zaměstnanců

This thesis examines the mental well-being of workers in managerial and coordinating positions in the construction industry, focusing primarily on how these workers interpret the impact of job demands and job resources on their work experience. The aim of the thesis is to understand the subjective experiences of these workers in the context of the specific conditions of the construction environment. The theoretical section is based on the Job Demands–Resources model, which is used as a sensitizing framework, as well as on the transactional model of stress and concepts of mental well-being. In the practical section, the methods used are first described and then interviews with employees in managerial and coordinating positions in the construction industry are analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). The results show that workers do not interpret job demands and resources merely as objective characteristics of work, but as part of a broader work experience, with the tension between control and unpredictability, responsibility for others, the availability of social support, and the ability to regulate the boundaries between work and personal life playing a key role. This study provides a deeper understanding of how workers in the construction industry experience psychological strain and highlights the importance of both organizational and individual factors in shaping mental well-being in the workplace.
