Management Competency Model: Predictive Neural Network Approach for Empirical Components of Construction Project Proficiency

Abstract

Management competencies are skills that incorporate the understanding, proficiencies and qualities essential for successful performance. Individuals in the top of the organizational hierarchy presents himself being an effective leader by immersing to a readily difficult activity in the project. Molding the important management competencies was found to be hard since the efficacy of a competent construction manager is dependent on countless administrative aspects. The current study intended to offer a construction management competency for human resource development in construction companies. Utilizing this competency model, the company could increase its performance capacity and productivity. This study developed a competency theory and a hybrid predictive model with specific foci on construction managers. The Management Competency Framework Assessment Instrument was developed, following an approach through factor-item analytic mode. Furthermore, this research constructs a predictive performance model using Artificial Neural Network through the factors associated to successful management performance. A sensitivity analysis was also implemented to assess the relative importance of individual factors to the effective construction performance.
