Understanding how the work environment affects personnel adaptation is crucial, as a negative environment can have detrimental consequences on the physical and mental health of workers. The aim of this study is to identify and examine the significant dimensions, factors, and models related to the organizational climate, with a particular focus on the construction sector. A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol, utilizing the SCOPUS database, from which 176 studies were obtained through search strings. Of this set, 142 were selected for final analysis. The results reveal that China has the highest number of studies on the organizational climate in construction. Regarding dimensions, emphasis is placed on occupational health and safety. Factors include a classification for dimensions, models, and other general factors. The model identified in studies with the most relevance is the JD-R (job demands–resources) model, which helps us to understand how job characteristics promote employee well-being. The implications of this study underscore the need for further research related to the work environment, implementing changes in occupational safety and health, and highlighting the importance of fostering a positive work environment from the early stages of organizational development. These findings provide valuable insights to refine labor practices, design more effective models, and guide future research in the realm of organizational climate in construction sector companies. Keywords: JD-R model; occupational health and safety; organizational development; work environment 1. Introduction 1.1. Justification The organizational climate is composed of several dimensions that are crucial for the success, efficiency, and development of the organization. Among these, one can mention occupational health and safety, job satisfaction, safety climate, and within this framework, occupational safety and safety culture. Additionally, the dimensions include occupational risks, workplace accidents, working conditions, organizational culture, employee engagement, work environment, job performance, job stress, job burnout, occupational health culture, and occupational mental health. Acknowledging the importance of all these dimensions for their effective implementation is fundamental, and all collaborators in this field must have adequate knowledge about them. As Davies (2022) points out, the company must communicate clearly and transparently about the organizational climate, ensuring that all collaborators fully understand these aspects and are aligned with the individual goals and development of each team member. It is essential to understand the impact of organizational climate in the construction industry, as indicated by Cruz-Zuñiga et al. (2022), since an unfavorable work Adm.

Adm. Sci. 2024,14, 51 2 of 26 environment can result in a lack of personnel adaptation, which in turn can lead to negative consequences in terms of labor, physical, and psychological aspects for the workers. Therefore, it is imperative to dedicate active efforts to improving the organizational climate within this specific sector. Given the current demands of the economy, it is crucial to adapt processes to improve occupational safety and health. Specifically, in the construction industry, with high accident rates, strategies are required that not only prioritize the safety of workers but also drive productivity and economic growth. It is essential to design specific measures that address the unique needs of this sector compared to others Villota Ortega et al. (2023). According to López et al. (2019), the construction industry is known for its risky nature, involving heavy machinery, work at heights, and other hazards that can result in workplace accidents. Therefore, occupational health and safety are highly studied topics. The lack of a solid approach leads to distrust and, consequently, job abandonment by employees. It can also result in injuries, the loss of lives, disruptions in project schedules, and additional costs. During the course of the research, previous studies related to the study topic were identified, such as the study conducted by Hayashi et al. (2023). Their research aimed to examine the conditions determining the improvement of occupational health and safety for construction workers. Their study involved a review of titles, abstracts, and full texts. The study results highlight the necessity for future research to focus on interventions that promote both occupational safety and health outcomes. This entails implementing both environmental and behavioral interventions at the individual level. Additionally, it is key to ensure the involvement of relevant stakeholders, avoid contamination in cluster randomization, optimize intervention dosing, and enhance outcome measurement. The research conducted by Marleno et al. (2019) focuses on two key objectives: obtaining details on occupational health and safety (OHS) activities in construction projects and comparing the costs associated with the implementation of OHS in such projects. The methodology included a literature study, research, and descriptive analysis. The results detail the implementation of OHS in construction projects, covering aspects such as preparation, socialization, promotion, personal protective equipment, insurance, occupational health and safety personnel, health facilities, and overall compliance. Regarding costs, it was found that OHS compliance varies between 0.8% and 1.7% of the project value, showing significant differences between different types of projects, such as roads, bridges, drainage, and buildings. According to Zid et al. (2022), the analysis of safety climate factors affecting safe behavior in the construction industry is significantly addressed, a topic that has been relatively unexplored until now. The extensive literature review, based on 96 scientific articles, identifies 23 factors grouped into three dimensions according to their impact. The first dimension highlights factors with a significant influence on safe behavior, such as the attitude towards safety, management commitment, safety management system, and employee involvement. The second dimension includes 7 factors with moderate influence, while the third dimension encompasses 12 factors with low evidence of impact on safe behavior. This novel approach in the article seeks to stimulate future research on human factors and specific measures related to various dimensions of safety climate in construction. Continuing along the same line of research, Kongsvik’s study (Kongsvik 2019) emphasizes the disparities in safety between local and foreign workers in multinational projects, delving into their underlying causes. The literature review reveals that migrant workers are more likely to experience accidents compared to locals due to the nature of the higher-risk jobs they occupy, less favorable working conditions, and their lesser familiarity with safety regulations. Some may also be culturally inclined to take on more risks. In multinational environments, the diversity of subcultures, often reflecting the original nationality of the workers, underscores the importance of simultaneously addressing cultural, structural, and interpersonal issues to enhance the occupational safety of migrant workers. Understand-
Adm. Sci. 2024,14, 51 3 of 26 ing the factors influencing organizational climate is essential, and this study highlights concerns regarding occupational accidents. In the study by Kineber et al. (2023), the prevalence of workplace accidents in the construction industry is emphasized. The study highlights the importance of understanding and implementing occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) to enhance sustainability in these aspects. A literature review was conducted, revealing the benefits of the OHSMS and highlighting challenges in implementation, such as a lack of communication, inappropriate equipment use, and cultural barriers. The assessment of benefits is complicated by the scarcity of comprehensive data on construction incidents and challenges in complying with effective laws. To reduce occupational accidents and maintain workplace safety, Wahab et al.’s (2023) study underscores the importance of the relationship between construction, safety, and incidents, and the effectiveness of the Construction Industry Development Board’s (CIDB) Green Card Training Program is highlighted. A literature review was conducted to gather data. The findings emphasize that construction incidents result in significant losses in human and financial resources, impacting morale and productivity. They conclude that, in Malaysia, attendance on CIDB’s Green Card course is mandatory for those wishing to work in construction. This program aims to raise awareness among workers about fundamental safety knowledge, legislation, and regulations, with the goal of modifying behaviors and attitudes to reduce accident rates in the industry. Similarly, according to the research by Supriyatna et al. (2020), the focus is on occupational safety and health risks in construction projects with the aim of reducing accidents and occupational illnesses. A literature review was conducted based on compiled journals analyzing occupational safety and health in construction projects. It is concluded that there are two significant sources of risk, both internal and external, considered from both technical and non-technical perspectives. Technical risks include the use of 4D-BIM technology, personal protective equipment, and construction tools that comply with the relevant permits. On the other hand, non-technical results encompass the awareness of work safely, knowledge, and culture in occupational safety and health, as well as incentives provided by management and government support regarding commitments and supervision in occupational safety and health in construction projects. In the research conducted by Johansson et al. (2019), the study of safety and occupational risks in the construction industry is mentioned. Through a systematic literature review of 326 scientific articles, 11 categories were identified: accident statistics, individual factors, legislation and regulations, ethical considerations, risk management, leadership, organization, competence, safety design, cost–benefit calculations, programs, models, and technical solutions. These considerations must be taken into account to contribute to minimizing risks and increasing safety in companies in the construction industry, emphasizing that it is a complex matter in which all members of the organization are involved in achieving it. On the other hand, a fundamental part of the work environment is examined in the study of Yuan et al. (2022) in which the relationship between safety climate, labor relations, and unsafe psychological states in construction is examined using the SEIR model. The literature review emphasizes the importance of the safety climate in preventing unsafe psychological states. The recommendation includes conducting regular training meetings to strengthen relationships, promote safety communication, and enhance awareness within the team. Additionally, the effectiveness of improving psychological states is underscored, with a key role assigned to team leaders and safety experts. Monitoring mental health and training programs, especially for post-traumatic mental health, are highlighted aspects. In line with mental health in the workplace, the study by Golzad et al. (2023) focuses on addressing the concerning prevalence of suicides and mental health issues in the construction industry while simultaneously aiming to improve occupational safety. The research employed a systematic literature review, given the scarcity of available reviews on this specific topic. Forty-three factors contributing to mental health issues were identified,
Adm. Sci. 2024,14, 51 4 of 26 with high job demands being the most significant, followed by interpersonal relationships, low job control, limited job support, and physical health. Additionally, deficiencies in the four dimensions of the psychological safety climate 12-item scale (PSC-12) were explored, indicating new areas of research to address these knowledge gaps. The study offers a comprehensive theoretical model of the causes of mental health issues, providing a valuable source of practical knowledge for professionals in the field. These previously described systematic literature reviews (SLRs) suggest that in a context where a conflictive organizational environment can have detrimental consequences for the mental and physical health of workers, it is imperative to proactively address these challenges. This article aims to explore and expand the contributions of SLRs by providing a comprehensive understanding of how these practices impact the creation of a healthy work environment and contribute to the sustainable success of companies in the construction industry. Through a detailed analysis, the goal is to optimize working conditions and foster positive performance in this crucial sector. 1.2. Objectives The objective of the present research is to identify the characteristics related to the organizational climate, specifically targeting companies in the construction sector. In this context, the aim is to examine the dimensions, factors, models, population, sample, and statistical tests used in the development of organizational climate in the construction environment. These elements provide leaders with the necessary tools to improve the work environment, promote employee well-being, and contribute to the overall success of the organization. To achieve this, the following research questions will be addressed: RQ1: What are the prominent dimensions of organizational climate? RQ2: What factors are considered in the realm of organizational climate in construction? RQ3: What models are developed to enhance organizational climate? The following questions are complementary and are part of the data collection: In which country have more studies been conducted on the topic under investigation? What is the predominant population in scientific research? What is the most significant sample among the retrieved scientific articles? Through this systematic approach, a comprehensive understanding of the dimensions and characteristics in the construction environment will be achieved. 2.

Title Abstract Extract Keywords Construction Organizational Climate Effect of Occupational Health and Safety Training for Chinese Construction Workers Based on the CHAID Decision Tree (Cao et al. 2021) Background: Occupational health and safety (OHS) training is an important way to prevent construction safety risks. However, the effectiveness of OHS training in China is questionable. In this study, the CHAID (chi-squared automatic interaction detection) decision tree, chi-square analysis, and correlation analysis were used to explore the main, secondary, weak, unrelated, and expectation factors affecting the effectiveness of training.

A Multivariable Mediating Model (Ni et al. 2022b) Burnout is at all-time highs across modern professions. As a typical labor-intensive industry, the high-pressure and task-driven nature of the construction industry makes construction workers more prone to burnout. It is still unclear whether increasing the professionalization level can lessen the many harmful consequences of job burnout on construction workers’ employment. Therefore, this study examined the influencing. . . construction workers; construction industry; building industry job satisfaction; working conditions; work conflict Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Employee Performance in the Construction Industry of Pakistan (Memon et al. 2023) Organizations focus on human resources to improve performance as a result of high global competition and a dynamic business environment.

This lack of distinction among factors suggests homogeneity in the perception of organizational climate, where diverse elements contribute equitably to the overall configuration of such climate. The 3P+I factors are presented in this table, and this model proves highly useful for the organizational domain in terms of people, processes, and policies. Additionally, factors that improve occupational health and safety (SST) according to 4D-BIM technology are included. This technology offers several benefits, such as identifying potential risks, minimizing conflicts, reducing risks, and communicating safety procedures, among others, all focused on the construction, which is a characteristic of this model.

RQ3: What models are developed to enhance organizational climate? Regarding the third research question, as revealed in the results in Table 9, the job demands–resources (JD-R) model stands out as the predominant approach in research on the organizational climate. This widely used model focuses on the interaction between job demands and resources, providing a comprehensive framework to understand how these elements influence employee well-being and organizational performance. Immediately following this analysis, the relevance of the Wexley model, the COMB model, and the occupational stress mediation model emerges. These models address the complexity of factors influencing job satisfaction, considering both intrinsic and extrinsic aspects. Similarly, the BIM model and the GRIS clustering model facilitate the decision-making process and contribute to reducing risks in construction activities, increasing efficiency. The dual-process positive–negative psychological model, the CART model, neural network, and the SOR model (stimulus–organism–response), along with the PSC-12 model, are designed to provide assistance and identify potential notable characteristics regarding organizational health and the mental health of workers. Additionally, models for risk assessment in occupational health and safety (SST) are presented, such as the comprehensive hybrid fuzzy-based occupational risk assessment model (CHFORAM). 3.4. Risk of Bias in Studies The risk of biases in the studies included in this SLR underwent a meticulous review process by the authors. The results indicating the representativeness of the studies are presented in Table 10, with the aim of enabling an assessment of the quality of the entire set of articles. According to the data presentation, only 86.93% of the total candidate studies were selected for detailed analysis, and 80.68% of the studies were chosen for the research compilation.

Adm. Sci. 2024,14, 51 22 of 26 4. Discussion The research highlights China as a leader in studies on the organizational climate in construction, followed by the category of unspecified country. Indonesia also has a significant presence in this field, contributing to global knowledge about working conditions in construction. The limited representation of Latin American studies, identifying only Chile and Brazil, emphasizes the need for more research in the region. This finding calls for fostering knowledge generation on the organizational climate in Latin America to enrich local understanding and contribute to global knowledge in this field. Regarding dimensions, the prioritized attention to health and occupational safety, essential for safeguarding workers, stands out as the dimension most frequently focused on in studies on the organizational climate, which aligns with the notion put forth by Kineber et al. (2023), who emphasize the importance of understanding and implementing occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMS) to enhance sustainability in these aspects. In this regard, the research by Hayashi et al. (2023) is added, aiming to examine the conditions that determine the improvement of occupational safety and health for construction workers. The organizational culture emerges as an essential element, often highlighted as a crucial factor for the success and stability of the work environment. In this context, Cao et al. (2021) point out that both the work environment and psychological health exert a significant influence on workers’ perceptions and behaviors related to safety in the construction industry. Golzad et al. (2023) reference the alarming prevalence of suicides and mental health issues in the industry, and to this study, the work of Yuan et al. (2022) can be added, which underscores the importance of the safety climate in preventing unsafe psychological states in construction. Along the same lines is the dimension related to job performance, which is presented as vital in construction companies and is closely related to the organizational culture. Regarding factors of the organizational climate, it is emphasized that they are classified into sections such as dimension factors, model factors, and other factors. Regarding dimension factors, those related to the safety climate are predominant in topics of occupational health and safety, as mentioned in the research by Supriyatna et al. (2020), which focuses on safety and health risks in construction work to reduce accidents and occupational illnesses. Additionally, factors of job satisfaction, risks, and job performance are mentioned, which are also highlighted in the analyzed dimensions. In this sense, the study by Johansson et al. (2019) presents categories of safety and occupational risks in the construction industry, which aligns with the study by Kongsvik (2019) addressing the occupational risks assumed by foreign workers compared to national workers, making it clear that there may be implications for job satisfaction and performance. To these studies, the work of Wahab et al. (2023) can be added, which focuses on the CIDB’s Green Card Training Program, ideal for raising awareness among workers about safety, legislation, and regulations, with the aim of reducing the incidence of accidents and their significant impacts on human and financial resources. The factors characterizing models of organizational climate are limited, and no prominent elements are identified within this domain, as all exhibit similar levels of representativeness. This lack of distinction among factors suggests homogeneity in the perception of organizational climate, where various elements contribute equitably to the overall configuration of this climate. Among the key factors, the importance of factors in the 3P+I model is highlighted, factors that improve occupational safety and health according to 4D-BIM technology. Other factors, such as those determining labor capacity, job instability, behavior-based safety (BBS), job dissatisfaction, among others, exhibit homogeneous representativeness in the list. In relation to models developed to enhance organizational climate in the construction sector, the job demands–resources (JD-R) model stands out as the primary approach for studying organizational climate. This model focuses on the interaction between job demands and resources, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding organizational performance and how job characteristics promote employee well-being (Lesener
Adm. Sci. 2024,14, 51 23 of 26 et al. 2019). Additionally, it examines job demands, job resources, and personal resources, as well as employee engagement and burnout (Ferreira and Ghedine 2023). Furthermore, the Wexley model is characterized by its robustness in measuring job satisfaction, addressing the complexity of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence it. The review presents certain limitations that need to be addressed to appropriately contextualize the findings. A limitation related to the variability in data availability among included studies has been identified. Not all studies provided responses to all research questions, and studies focusing on the medical field were excluded, as well as studies with no connection to the construction industry. These exclusions affected the robustness of the collected data in certain aspects, and certain limitations highlight the importance of interpreting the results with caution. The results of the review have significant implications for practice, policies, and future research in the development of the organizational climate in construction. It becomes necessary to continue promoting research in developed countries because new aspects emerge from there to be considered for further research. In the realm of policies, the importance of working on occupational health and safety, as well as job satisfaction, is emphasized, given that the construction industry is known for its risk nature, hazards, and worker accidents. The implementation of policies in organizations is fundamental to achieving a satisfactory organizational climate and having a significant impact on the success and sustainability of a construction company. For future research, the identification of dimensions, factors, and models serves as a valuable starting point for researchers seeking to expand existing understanding or explore new directions. Likewise, they can be utilized by professionals, decision-makers, or those in the industry to improve practices, policies, or processes. Several challenges encountered in the research can assist those interested in the topic of the organizational climate in developing their research. Managing cultural differences between migrant and local workers to promote workplace safety is one of the challenges found, for which several steps are presented to address it. These include simultaneously addressing cultural, structural, and interactional issues to improve the occupational safety of migrant workers, utilizing the comprehensive analysis of multiple factors (CAMF) model to understand factors affecting the organizational climate between migrant and local workers, identifying areas for improvement from CAMF results, developing an action plan to address these points, implementing planned actions to improve safety and organizational climate, and finally evaluating the impact of interventions on workers to continuously adjust and improve practices. Another challenge is the lack of attention and research into factors contributing to the safety climate and their influence on safe behavior in the construction industry. To help solve this, steps such as focusing on research to enhance occupational safety and health outcomes, incorporating environmental and behavioral interventions at the individual level, ensuring stakeholder participation, avoiding contamination in cluster randomization, optimizing intervention dosing, and improving outcome measurement should be applied. Subsequently, consulting with experts to gain additional perspectives on factors influencing safety climate and how to improve them, designing specific interventions to address identified gaps in literature and collected data, and finally conducting continuous evaluation of implemented interventions to monitor their impact over time and make adjustments as necessary. Another identified barrier is effectively implementing the occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS), facing obstacles such as lack of communication, improper equipment use, and cultural barriers. To address this challenge, it is necessary to clearly establish crucial aspects of occupational safety and health (OSH) for managers and workers, facilitate workers’ attendance on the CIDB’s Green Card course, designed to raise awareness about safety, legislation, and regulations, ensure the active participation of all stakeholders in the continuous improvement of occupational safety and health, and conduct periodic evaluations of the occupational safety and health program to identify
Adm. Sci. 2024,14, 51 24 of 26 areas of success and improvement opportunities, thus ensuring a continuous improvement approach. The last challenge identified is implementing mental health monitoring programs, which can pose ethical challenges, especially in ensuring workers’ confidentiality and privacy. The steps to follow include applying the psychological safety climate model of the PSC-12, focusing on psychological factors influencing their willingness to participate in safety initiatives, conducting periodic training meetings to strengthen relationships, encourage safety communication, and increase awareness in the team, establishing partnerships with mental health professionals to provide counseling and support to employees as needed, implementing confidentiality policies to protect employees’ privacy during mental health monitoring, designating a confidential point of contact to express concerns without fear of retaliation, and finally establishing a continuous monitoring system to evaluate the effectiveness of workplace mental health programs and collect feedback from employees.
