This doctoral dissertation presents a comprehensive integration of a systematic literature review, survey data on perceived stress, job burnout, job performance, support from workplace and family domains, and psychological capital (i.e., self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience) alongside a qualitative exploration of coping strategies among project workers.The research findings underscore the pivotal role of various coping resources, encompassing social, cognitive, emotional, and psychological aspects, in how project workers navigate work-related stress and its potential detrimental consequences. For example, senior project employees or those with strong resilience and a focus on the future often use positive self-talks, job crafting, and proactive vitality management strategies. These adaptive coping mechanisms are crucial for thriving and achieving success in the project setting, impacting individual and organizational outcomes. Conversely, novices and individuals with perfectionist tendencies may resort to counterproductive coping strategies, such as extreme work, avoidance, or self-blame.These findings highlight the potential of targeted interventions to bolster critical coping resources, including social support, coping time orientation, and psychological capital. Such interventions could be highly effective and economical, offering a promising pathway to enhance the overall well-being of project workers.
