Abstrakt: In conjunction with the scientific and technological revolution that the world is witnessing nowadays in all domains of life, work-related stress has become a serious and widespread issue. Work-related stress or stress of the job is a serious physical and emotional response that the person or the employee show when they are under stress especially when the job environment, requirements, and conditions do not match with their capabilities and their level of knowledge or education. In recent years, this issue has attracted the attention of many countries and researchers around the world as a result of its negative and severe effects on the individual, society, and economy of countries. The researchers noted that the stress of work relies on many factors, the most important is personality formation and characteristics. Such as optimism or pessimism, self-control, hardness, and self-efficacy. This study investigates and identifies the personality types of construction professional engineers in a growing country such as Yemen. Sixty-two (62) questionnaires set using a seven-point scale method were distributed among the professional engineers in the construction projects in Aden city south of Yemen to achieve the objective of this study. The data is analyzed using the frequency rate and scoring analysis method. The results will be categorized according to the personality type of the professional engineers then will be presented in tables and figures for easy interpretation. The outcomes of the study showed that Yemeni engineers are with different types of personalities confined between type A, AB, and B personality characteristics. This means those professionals engineers are distinguished by their punctuality and well-managed work-life balance. A good understanding of this study outcome in a growing country such as Yemen could be used as a road map for stress elimination, and improve the performance of construction professionals.
