Environmental Risk Management and Personnel Well-Being Among Selected Construction Companies: A Study of Selected Construction Companies in Ogun State, Nigeria (Published)
The study examined how personnel well-being in Nigerian construction organisations is influenced by environmental risk management. It aimed to address issues such as irregular working hours, tight deadlines for work goals, and fluctuations in construction demand, which, along with other factors, create a stressful environment that affects employees’ mental well-being and personal lives. A descriptive research design was employed, with the population consisting of employees from five selected construction companies in Ogun State. These companies were chosen because they are highly ranked and provide access to a broader and more diverse population. Primary data were collected from the selected companies, while secondary data were sourced from other sources. The study examined the impact of Personal Protective Equipment, Environmental Regulatory Compliance, and Risk Mitigation Strategies on employee job satisfaction in Nigerian construction firms. Using a survey method and simple random sampling, 100 respondents were selected through structured questionnaires, with the sample size determined using the Taro Yamane formula. The data were analysed with SPSS. To foster an environment conducive to consistent, positive productivity and higher profitability for construction organisations, the study recommends that stakeholders adopt environmental risk management to address risks that affect employees’ work-life balance. It was concluded that the predictors studied had a significant influence on employees’ job satisfaction.
