Construction workers, who comprise 8.5% of Australia's workforce, are a high risk group for work-family conflict (WFC), which is linked to negative outcomes for individuals, families and organizations. The construction industry is facing a skills shortage but remains unattractive to young workers and those with family/care responsibilities. The research will help the construction industry to re-think cultural expectations about work hours and design jobs that reduce WFC and promote work-family interaction. The research will help the industry improve its ability to attract and retain a diverse workforce and contribute to a reduction in the social and economic costs of WFC.

建筑工人占澳大利亚劳动力的8.5%，是工作-家庭冲突(WFC)的高危群体，工作-家庭冲突会给个人、家庭和组织带来负面后果。建筑业正面临技能短缺，但对年轻工人和有家庭/照顾责任的人来说仍然缺乏吸引力。这项研究将帮助建筑业重新思考对工作时间和设计工作的文化期望，以减少WFC并促进工作与家庭的互动。这项研究将有助于该行业提高其吸引和留住多样化劳动力的能力，并有助于降低WFC的社会和经济成本。
