Dissertation ; no. CM-09-01 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology Thesis (Ph.D.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 2009 The success of a construction project depends on several important factors, one of which is the competence of its project manager. There are several issues regarding the project manager have impacts on project outcomes. Examples include the project manager's leadership behaviours, personal attributes, and competencies or necessary skills which are appropriate for dealing with construction work. Consequently, there are many questions need answers regarding the competence of project managers and issues of effective project management. For instance, what is the most applied leadership style at the current time and what are the different outcomes from applying different leadership styles? What is the most appropriate leadership style? What are the necessary competencies of an effective project manager? Consequently, this study was conducted to investigate the actual leadership behaviours and personal competencies of project managers. It also explored the key personality traits of subordinates in Thai construction projects. Specifically, this study examined how leadership behaviours, leader personal competencies and subordinate personality traits influence leadership outcomes (effectiveness; satisfaction; extra effort; commitment) and subordinates' work performance (work quality; work quantity; problem solving creativity; teamwork and work discipline). Leadership behaviors and outcomes were measured using Bass and Avolio's (2004) Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), subordinates' personalities were measured following the Five Factor Model whereas project manager's personal competencies were measured following the Project Manager Competency Development (PMCD) defined by Project Management Institute (2002). During the data collecting process, data regarding the actual leadership behaviours, leadership outcomes and personal competencies of project managers in Thai construction projects were gathered from subordinate group whereas project managers provided the data on their subordinates' key personalities and work performance level based on their opinion. The findings of this study answer several questions on the top of this page that leadership style mostly adopted in Thai construction projects is the transformational leadership style. It further clarifies that this style is suitable for application with Thai people since it created leadership outcomes superior to the other styles (transactional style and laissez-faire style). In addition, transformational leadership supports subordinates to produce better work quality and work quantity. Moreover, the subordinates also tend to have high creativity in problem solving when working with transformational leaders. Besides, the association between PMCD personal competencies and MLQ leadership behaviours revealed that the entire personal competencies defined by Project Management Institute have significant positive relationship with every factor in the transformational style but they have significant positive relationship with only contingent reward factor in the transactional style whilst having negative relationship with the laissez-faire style. It implies that project managers who apply transformational behaviours are likely to possess the necessary personal competencies required for competent project managers also.
