This study investigated the relationship between psychosocial risk factors (workload, job insecurity, and lack of control) and employees' psychological health in the construction industry in Cameroon. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among employees of construction companies in the Centre Region of Cameroon. The results showed that workload, job insecurity, and lack of control are significant predictors of employees' psychological health, with workload being the strongest predictor. The study found that these psychosocial risk factors explain approximately 86.1% of the variance in psychological health. The findings highlight the importance of addressing psychosocial risk factors in the construction industry to promote employees' psychological health and well-being. The study's results have implications for the development of interventions aimed at mitigating the negative effects of psychosocial risk factors on employees' psychological health in the construction industry.
