Abstract

This research focuses on coping strategies to overcome stress among construction workers in Coimbatore District. The construction industry poses various stressors on workers, affecting their well-being and job performance. This study aims to explore the coping strategies employed by construction workers, their effectiveness, and the relationship between coping strategies and demographic variables. The research methodology involves a Likert scale-based questionnaire administered to a sample of 150 construction workers. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and ANOVA tests were conducted to analyze the data. The findings indicate that construction workers tend to engage in physical exercise, place less importance on seeking professional help, and prioritize maintaining a healthy lifestyle to cope with stress. However, age and years of experience do not significantly influence the acceptance of coping strategies. The study suggests promoting professional support, enhancing awareness and education on coping strategies, establishing support systems, addressing individual differences, fostering a positive work environment, and continuous evaluation and improvement. By implementing these suggestions, construction workers' well-being can be improved, leading to enhanced job satisfaction and productivity in the construction industry.
