Abstract/Summary
Work-life balance has been a heavily debated topic in the construction industry, especially post-COVID. Due the popularization of the topic as well as the introduction of “hybrid” work schedules among multiple industries the idea of work-life balance within the construction industry has become prevalent. This paper aims to gather data about work-life balance and stress among the construction management industry. A survey was distributed to recently graduated construction management students from California Polytechnic State University – San Luis Obispo to gather quantitative data regarding work-life balance, commuting, work hours, stress, and mental health. This survey also features a voluntary section to collect qualitative data regarding different firm’s ideals on work life balance and how it has affected the participants lives as a while. The findings from this survey are meant to inform prospective graduates about what to expect regarding work-life balance in their full-time roles and how they might help to improve it within their companies.
