Abstract

To establish a suitable prediction model of construction workers' job satisfaction, this study chooses the widely used models CART (Classification and Regression Tree) and NN (Neural network) in the prediction model to make a comparison and finds out the main influencing factors of construction workers' job satisfaction in occupational health and safety training. Through the investigation and analysis of 280 cases of empirical data, it is found that the CART model based on Kappa value and Accuracy of categorical variables have a better prediction effect, and the main factors affecting job satisfaction are job categories, working days per week and the latest training time. The main innovation of this paper is to add the actual value set of empirical data on the basis of the usual training set, verification set, test set and prediction set, and draw a conclusion by comparing the predicted value with the actual value of kappa.
