This research examines wellbeing management in project work environments from the perspective of care, focusing on the construction sector and exploring how Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) impact employee wellbeing. While MMC offers opportunities for improved work environments and productivity, it also introduces challenges like fragmentation and job insecurities. This study finds that wellbeing management is often isolated and calls for a strategic and integrated approach.
