“…Nevertheless, the disproportionate percentage of males in the sample does not invalidate the reported findings for two reasons. First, the construction management arena is largely comprised of men (Hickey & Qui, 2020), suggesting that these findings do in fact apply to a large portion of the construction industry. Second, a recent meta-analysis by van Dijk et al (2012) found that gender diversity had virtually no effect on task performance.…”

This study examines the influence of project managers’ communication behaviors in integrated project delivery (IPD) projects. This study also considers the impact of team-level information sharing on team-level outcomes (i.e., goal alignment, decision quality, process commitment, and project quality). Results indicate that team information sharing was perceived as beneficial, but the effects of project manager communication behaviors were inconsistent. Interaction analyses indicated that project managers’ communication behaviors hindered team functioning if teams were already engaging in adequate levels of information sharing. This manuscript contributes to the project management corpus by explicating an integrative model whereby project manager and team-level information-sharing behaviors are modeled simultaneously.

“…They also reported that New Mexico and North Dakota had the highest wage gaps (lower outliers) in 2007 and 2011 in A&E occupations; Maine and Rhode Island had the highest wage gaps in 2007 in construction occupations. Hickey and Cui (2020) quantified the gender distribution in the executive teams of the top firms in the US engineering-construction industry. They found that women are significantly underrepresented in US construction executive leadership positions (3.9%), and most construction companies lack gender diversity in leadership culture and mission statements.…”

In contemporary society, addressing the evolving needs of youth is paramount for fostering resilient, empowered, and capable leaders of tomorrow. The process begins with a comprehensive needs assessment, which serves as the cornerstone for developing effective curriculum tailored to their unique requirements. This review delves into the intricate process of conducting a needs assessment for youths and subsequently crafting a curriculum for leadership development initiatives. A needs assessment for youths entails a multifaceted approach that encompasses various dimensions of their lives. It involves understanding their socio-economic background, educational aspirations, career goals, interpersonal skills, and community involvement. By employing qualitative and quantitative research methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, and observation, stakeholders gain insights into the diverse needs, challenges, and aspirations of youths within their specific context. Upon completion of the needs assessment, the gathered data serve as the foundation for designing a targeted curriculum for youth leadership development. The curriculum aims to address identified gaps and empower youths with essential skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for leadership roles. It integrates elements such as communication skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and cultural competency, tailored to the developmental stage and cultural background of the target audience. The curriculum development process involves collaboration among educators, youth advocates, community leaders, and relevant stakeholders to ensure its relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability. It follows a systematic approach, including curriculum design, implementation strategies, resource identification, and evaluation methods. The curriculum is designed to be interactive, experiential, and engaging, fostering active participation and ownership among youths. Key components of the curriculum include leadership theories, self-awareness exercises, goal setting, conflict resolution techniques, ethical decision-making, community engagement projects, and mentorship opportunities. It embraces a holistic approach that nurtures youths' personal, academic, and professional growth while instilling values of social responsibility and civic engagement. The curriculum is adaptable and responsive to the evolving needs and dynamics of youths and their communities. Regular assessments and feedback mechanisms enable continuous improvement and refinement, ensuring its relevance and effectiveness over time, the curriculum is designed to be inclusive, accommodating the diverse backgrounds, abilities, and perspectives of all participants. Working on needs assessment for youths and subsequently developing a curriculum for leadership development initiatives is a multifaceted and dynamic process. It requires a deep understanding of youths' aspirations, challenges, and contexts, coupled with collaboration, innovation, and adaptability. By empowering youths with the necessary skills and opportunities, such initiatives contribute to building a generation of capable, empathetic, and visionary leaders poised to address the challenges of the future.
