Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between safety training, stress management practices, and worker productivity within the construction industry. Through a comprehensive examination of 350 participants across ten major construction sites in Nigeria, the research demonstrates that structured safety training programs combined with effective stress management strategies significantly enhance worker productivity. The findings reveal that organizations implementing robust safety education protocols alongside targeted stress reduction initiatives experience a marked improvement in operational efficiency and project outcomes. Specifically, our analysis shows that for every standardized unit increase in safety training effectiveness, there is a corresponding 0.926 unit increase in productivity metrics, while comprehensive stress management programs contribute to a 45% reduction in workplace accidents. These results underscore the critical role of integrated safety and stress management approaches in optimizing construction site performance. This research contributes valuable empirical evidence to the existing body of knowledge, providing practical insights for industry practitioners seeking to enhance both worker well-being and organizational productivity through systematic safety and stress management interventions.
