" Working in projects constitutes a modern form of operational performance. Projects promote cooperation, enable a high degree of autonomy, and are thus, in contrast to Tayloristic forms of work, regarded to have rather positive impacts on the employees' health and well-being. First studies, however, also point out pathological effects. This article examines specific demands, stressors, and resources of employees working in co-configured projects in particular. Co-configured projects are characterized by the joint production of complex, tailor-made goods and services by different partners. Using the case study of a construction company, we show that co-configured project work is characterized by the complex interaction of demands, stressors, and resources. From the perspective of the interviewed project workers, demands, stressors, and resources are ambivalent. We identified three different types of ambivalences that will be discussed. Based on this, we will deduce implications for future research."
