Abstract: Abstract Construction project managers are under high level of job stress today because of the characteristics of contemporary construction projects, such as large investment, tight project schedule, high requirements and significant influence on the society and public. Different types of construction project managers have been under different job stressors. Based on literature review, this paper adopts questionnaire survey and interview methods to identify the job stressors experienced by Chinese construction project managers and analyze the differences of various construction project managers’ job stressors. The results indicate that there is no significant difference in job stressors for construction project managers with different genders. Significant differences exist in the career-development job stressors of construction project managers with different ages. In addition, there are significant differences in the job stressors of the organizational structure of construction project managers in different organizations. The research results can provide reference for the job stress management of construction project managers in the Chinese construction industry.
