Abstract

In order to investigate the job satisfaction of construction engineers on-site work belonging to construction companies and CM/engineering companies, this study analyzed the work satisfaction by position based on the job satisfaction measurement items derived from previous studies. The current job satisfaction of construction engineers was found to be moderate overall, and the degree of dissatisfaction by position was found to be high at the employee and assistant manager. In addition, it was found that more than half of the construction engineers at the employee and assistant manager were highly willing to change jobs and retire. In this study, we first identified ways to improve job satisfaction in terms of task environment, organizational environment, and personal environment that need improvement through the improvement requirements of construction engineers, and presented a benchmarking plan for advanced countries' cases.
