Analyzing the Priority of Leadership Elements for Project Manager of Building Construction Project

Abstract

In construction, the outcome of work depends on the leadership of the project manager, and as a result this has been emerging as an important factor. The purpose of this study is to analyze the main elements of leadership that are essential for project managers, and to rank these elements in order of importance. In this study, leadership and its elements are reviewed through reviewing the literature, and the main elements and their relative importance for project managers were analyzed through questionnaire survey of project managers, contractor engineers, and subcontractor engineers. Through this survey, it was found that the project manager's leadership had a significant influence on the success of a construction project, and this study revealed that the key elements of leadership for project manager could be ranked in the order of resolution, responsibility, and reliance.

Experimental Study on Tensile and Shear Behaviors of the Channel Type Embedded Parts in Concrete Beam

“…In China, with the explosive development of super high-rise buildings, the construction speed of tall building (over 120(m)) was about 74 per year on average during 2000-2006 [1][2]. And curtain wall was extensively used.…”

Optimal Design of a Complex High-Rise Building Based on Cost-Effectiveness Criterion

“…Burj Dubai with a height of 828m became the world's tallest tower now; The height of Taipei International Financial Center is 508m in China (roof antenna height); Shanghai World Financial Center Tower whose height is 492m has been built and put into use in China; The Petronas Twin Towers possesses a height of 452m in Malaysia. Currently, the number of high-rise buildings which heights exceed 300m reached dozens and the heights of high-rise buildings which are planned to build and whose layers are from 100 to 300 exceed 500m in the world [1,2,3]. From a technical point of view, the development of high-rise buildings benefits from the developing of mechanical analysis and computing technology, the progress of structural design and construction technology, the contribution of modern machinery and electronics.…”
