Work-Life Balance in Construction

The book presents the latest studies on the worklife balance of millennial (also known as Generation Y) building professionals in Singapore and South Korea. Its main goal is to compare and contrast the workplace attitudes of millennials, and to provide guidelines that help supervisors in the construction industry manage their employees expectations regarding worklife balance. Accordingly, it explains and links various principles regarding worklife conflicts, worklife enrichments and the worklife interface. Furthermore, the book introduces readers to coping strategies, a dimension that has not yet been explored substantially and has the potential to contribute significantly to the study and understanding of worklife balance. The book makes recommendations for the top management on assigning a capable leader to drive the changes in the organization, and on empowering the leader to implement effective strategies for promoting worklife balance, especially for the millennials who are now playing an increasing central role in the global construction sector.
