Abstract

The construction industry is labor-intensive, which means that productivity hinges greatly on the laborer’s competence. However, if the construction workers perform their tasks in a state of psychological insecurity, productivity will fall and safety management will also be affected; for this reason, a factor analysis is needed. Therefore, this study aims to analyze particular situation factors that cause psychological anxiety to construction workers. To deduce these factors, a questionnaire survey was conducted. Through this study, it was found that the working environment has the greatest influence on psychological anxiety, and that the situation in which an opening is neglected due to loading and unloading materials was identified as a leading psychological factor of anxiety.
