Items for Measuring the Construct of Workplace Oral Communication Skills (WOCS) amongst Civil Engineering Students: Step by Step Using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)
Abstract:One of the most crucial factors that influence the success of a construction project is communication. However, past studies found that communication failure frequently occurs at civil engineering workplaces. Among communication failures reported were oral communications, such as giving instruction and briefing; skills, which are supposed to be mastered by engineering graduates during their study years. Thus, students need to equip themselves with proper oral communication skills before they enter the industry… Show more
