| description | During the epidemic, construction site workers suffered from COVID-19 fear, job burnout, and job insecurity due to insufficient personal protective equipment. This study mainly explores the effect of policy formalism, equipment insufficiency, COVID-19 fear, and job insecurity on construction workers’ job burnout and insomnia during the epidemic. The main contribution of this article is to introduce policy formalism into the exploration of the causes of insomnia among construction site workers during the epidemic. This study collected 733 valid samples of construction site workers. We tested the established hypotheses using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. The research results found that equipment insufficiency positively affects COVID-19 fear. Policy formalism and COVID-19 fear positively affect job burnout. Social support negatively affects job burnout. Job burnout and job insecurity positively affect insomnia. The government should establish clear policy evaluation standards and implement policies to reduce construction site workers’ perceptions of policy formalism. The government should prepare sufficient personal protective equipment so that workers on construction sites can cope with the spread of the epidemic. |
