An Empirical Study on Performance Evaluation of Construction Project Manager

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a scale and an integrated assessment method of measuring construction project manager’s performance. A performance scale of construction project manager is developed in this paper, which contains three dimensions of execution power, coordination power and competency and 24 indicators. The performance scale combines theories of manager performance, person-job matching and competency and is developed by semi-structured interviews and extraction of the key indicators from the perspective of objective, process and person capability. Moreover, 46 construction project managers are selected as the samples from Citic Heavy Industries Co., LTD and the methods of entropy, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy integrated judgment are integrated to evaluate the performance of construction project managers. The results of this paper provide a way to evaluate construction project manger’s performance theoretically and methodology.
