Abstract
High tech fab construction is known for its large scale, intense scheduling, complex integration compromise, frequent design changes and high quality demand. It takes tremendous labor and machinery in exchange for time, space and flow during its construction process. Thus, project management of this kind has become much more complicated. To accommodate such heavy management workload, the construction vendor generally allocates large management team on site which then creates the internal organizational management issue. Therefore, the success of the project management counts on the organizational behavior and capabilities of such management team.
Organizational behavior and project management capabilities are composed of three elements intertwining with each other, including the characteristics and abilities of the team members, the team behavior management and the ability to implement. The characteristics and abilities of the members determine the team performance and the organizational behavior. However, at the same time, the organizational behavior and management also impact each individual’s performance in the team and further impact the team capability that generates team performance and quality.
Through literature reviews, on-site observation, and professional interviews, this research summarized the current models of project implementation and the gap between implementation and management control and has come up with various factors impacting the capabilities and behavior of the project management team, including backgrounds of the supervisor and engineers, individual traits and capabilities, professional team structure and hierarchy, work planning, communication behavior, supervision behavior, and leadership behavior. To complete a thorough study of such factor analysis, this research also added a number of other factors in application of the concepts of PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) as well as knowledge management factor driven from professional judgment and organizational process assets during the project management process. The entire study detailed 20 research factors out of three aspects.
After confirming the relevant factors based on the current project team implementation models and issues as well as the suggestions from the professional interviews, this research has explored their importance by conducting a questionnaire of these 72 items.
This research has intended to not only detail the relevant importance of the factors and their contributing member traits and team capabilities, but also to compare the different viewpoints between supervisors and engineer, fab owner and construction vendor as well as senior and non-senior engineers. Our findings should provide a valuable reference and application for project management and construction management via the mutual understanding of various team members on project organizational management and internal communications.
