Project titleOptimizing the Performance of Construction Project Managers through an Integrated
Proactive Stress Management Model (January 2006 - December 2007) Abstract: In recent years, Hong Kong has faced a serious recession (GDP decreased by 5.5%
from HK$1,344.5 billion in 1997 to HK$1,259.8 billion in 2002), which
reflects the fact that a lot of construction projects have been downgraded
or postponed. This has a significant influence on the performance
of C-PMs and the profitability of construction companies in the market.
Construction management not only requires innovative technical and
analytical input from C-PMs, but also involves the use of subjective
judgment. The demanding time pressure together with the dynamic social
process in a project team places a lot of stress on C-PMs. The purpose
of this research is to enhance and optimize the performance of project
managers in Hong Kong (a challenging environment) through integrated
stress management. The objectives are: (1) to establish individual
Stress–Performance relationships (Stressors, Stress, individual Coping
Behaviour (iCB) and Performance) for C-PMs; (2) to verify the individual
Stress Management model for
C-PMs by real cases; and (3) to develop an individual Stress Management
model for optimizing the performance of C-PMs. It is envisaged that
the findings made while carrying out these objectives will help in
devising an individual proactive Stress Management model for C-PMs,
and that this research will be continued in subsequent studies that
seek to develop an organizational proactive Stress Management model
for construction companies.
