Abstract

ABSTRACT To address the many issues in ever-evolving construction industry, senior-level managers need to gain specific knowledge, skills, and abilities required to be successful. Much of the current literature in construction is focused on identifying the skill sets at the Project Management level. Recognizing that limited research had been reported identifying the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required for senior-level construction managers, the current research was undertaken. The study uses the Delphi method to identify the KSAs. Purposeful sampling was used to identify a sufficient participant level. A three-phase Delphi survey questionnaire was distributed to the participants. Participants selected for the study were construction executives, construction mid-level managers, and external industry members such as Certified Public Accountants, bankers, sureties, and insurance professionals. The KSA’s, which met the consensus criteria were discussed. The KSA’s inform the graduate education programs in construction to foster the topics related to the identified KSAs in their curriculum.

高级建筑经理的知识、技能和能力:基于美国行业的德尔菲研究

为了解决不断发展的建筑行业中的许多问题，高层管理人员需要获得成功所需的特定知识、技能和能力。目前很多关于建筑的文献都集中在确定项目管理级别的技能集上。认识到已有有限的研究报告确定高级建筑管理人员所需的知识、技能和能力(KSAs)，因此进行了当前的研究。本研究采用德尔菲法对ksa进行鉴定。有目的的抽样用于确定足够的参与者水平。向参与者分发了三阶段德尔菲调查问卷。研究的参与者包括建筑业高管、建筑业中层管理人员和外部行业成员，如注册会计师、银行家、担保人和保险专业人士。对符合共识标准的KSA进行了讨论。KSA通知建设中的研究生教育项目，在课程中培养与已确定的KSA相关的主题。
