Organising Occupational Health, Safety, and Well‐Being in Construction: Working to Rule or Working Towards Well‐Being?
This chapter discusses how construction organisations can nurture the occupational health and well‐being (OHW) of their people and break through the safety performance plateau. It draws on the findings of two research projects investigating the culture and digitalisation of OHW and safety in the UK construction industry. The chapter explores how OHW can be embedded in construction practices from the perspective of structuration theory. It contributes to project organising studies by explicating how and why the current OHW practices fail and by providing a strategic approach that can help embed OHW in practices and, hence, improve organisational performance. Strategic investment in management capability is a key driver to incrementally transforming practices. Social capital entails networks of relationships that include norms, values, and obligations, which needs investment in relationships. The transactional business model needs change to incrementally invest in organisational capabilities to develop social and human capital.
