Abstract

Existing studies showed that the job satisfaction of construction professionals was generally low, and influenced by many factors. But there were few studies focusing on the investigation of construction professionals in China. In this study, the relevant theories were reviewed on the influencing factors of job satisfaction and the moderating effect of demographic factors on job satisfaction, with the aim to evaluate the current situation of job satisfaction of Chinese construction professionals, and to explore the differences of job satisfaction levels among construction professionals with various demographic features. Questionnaire survey was used to collect the perspectives about the job satisfaction from 449 Chinese construction professionals. Statistical analysis results showed that the construction professionals in China generally had a moderate high level of job satisfaction (3.360). The respondents were most satisfied with interpersonal relationship (3.953) and leadership and management (3.745), while they were least satisfied with job-related satisfaction (2.989) and salary and benefit (2.837). There were significant differences in some dimensions of job satisfaction among construction professionals with different backgrounds. This study enriches the job satisfaction research in the field of construction management, and provides valuable theoretical reference for managers in the construction industry to improve employee’s well-being and job performance.
