Abstract

Civil construction has a strong presence in a country’s economy and generates a great amount of jobs. It has one of the biggest amounts of work accidents. Other common aggravations of this work branch are alcoholism and mental and psychosomatic disorders that can be taken as symptoms of suffering caused by the job, such as stress and low motivation. The execution of small civil work in small cities, in its majority, is executed by workforce hired directly by the proprietary. The supervision by a civil engineer in the construction consists of a periodic inspection of its progress, assuring fidelity to the architectonic proposal and clarifying any doubt that appears, remaining to the customer the coordination and administration of the services of the work’s services, such as hiring, schedule and the purchase of materials.The following work has the objective characterizing the stress generating factors and motivation in small engineering works, verifying the physical response to the stress and the level of motivation presented in them. The adopted methodology was through a survey that contemplates 3 parts. The first being the analysis of personal factors, the second one, motivation factors and the third being about stress. The obtained results with this survey effectively revealed a low level of stress, because of the small magnitude of the work, with a great chemistry in the group and for not having the pressure related to execution deadlines. And for being simple people, with no perspective of professional growth, the low motivation is not a stress generating factor.
