Relationships among Dimensions of Human Factors Climate in Construction
Independently, work preferences have been studied for many years across a variety of disciplines and industries. However, the correlation among these attributes in the construction industry has not been examined. These relationships would help to understand if dimensions of human factors like emotions, fatigue, safety, cognitive demand, job satisfaction, and motivation act independently and discretely, or systematically to improve performance. This paper introduces the concept of human factors (HF) climate for the first time and explores the theoretical relationships among potential dimensions. The HF climate can be defined as the holistic method for studying the perceived psychological, physiological, and emotional impacts of work on human resources. Literature has revealed that most studies examine individual human factors independently and only a few pairwise relationships have been explored. To date, there is no study to examine human factors as a system or climate, although most studies use perception-based surveys and acknowledge that different aspects of human factors do not act in isolation. The goal of the HF climate is to replace the study of one or two dimensions (e.g., safety) at a time and allow us to consider the interrelationships among multiple dimensions simultaneously.
