Work-life balance in the construction industry: Innovative strategies for improving employee well-being and performance in project management teams

平衡工作和家庭的需要是澳大利亚面临的一个重要社会问题。该项目的目的是制定具体的战略，以改善工作与生活的平衡结果，特别是与竞争激烈的建筑业员工的业绩和福祉有关的结果。这项研究的意义在于：(I)将工作-生活平衡结构发展为基于时间、参与度和满意度的多维结构；(Ii)关注研究不足的男性员工；(Iii)采用创新的、实用的实验设计。这项研究将对成功的工作与生活平衡的决定因素产生新的见解，并为制定与员工需求一致的政策提供信息。

The need to balance work and family is an important social issue facing Australia. The aim of the project is to develop specific strategies to improve work-life balance outcomes, particularly in relation to performance and well-being for employees in the highly competitive construction industry. The significance of the research is in the (i) development of the work-life balance construct as a multidimensional one based on time, involvement and satisfaction; (ii) focus on under-researched male employees and (iii) use of an innovative, applied, experimental design. The research will yield new insights into the determinants of successful work-life balance and inform policy development which is consistent with employee needs.
