ABSTRACT : Work - related stress in construction management can trigger impairment to employees psychological health and thus affect project performance, but psychological disorders, deleterious consequences on project performance have not received sufficient attentionin the literature. This study aims to identify different types of psychological disorders in construction projects and develop a fuzzy mapping.to determine the impact of psychological disorders in construction personnel, the six most common psychological disorders including depression, generalized anxiety disorders (GAD) obssessive-compulsive disorders,9OCD0, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUD)acrophobia, and clautropobia were analyzed using principal component anayslysis (PCA), partial least-square (PLS)tests, and fuzzy analyse hierarchy process (fuzzy -AHP) and followed by visualizarion. Although various stressors such as work overload, role ambiguity and conflict unpaid overtime, restrictive career progression, and the diverse range of personality are common in construction management , different role and positions are subjected to different levels of stress, which from high to low are project manager, civil engineer, architect, contractor quantity surveyor and mechanical and electrical engineer. This research developed fuzzy mapping of psychological disorders in the context of project performance which is useful for project management teams to reveal and tackle mental health problems in early stages.
