Abstract
Currently, the enterprises have been paying more attention to talent and high quality has increasingly become a valuable resource for them. For the real-estate industry, excellent project managers are an important guarantee for project success. Their competencies affect project schedules to a large extent. Through data collection, analysis, and verification, and using the behavioural event interview method, this study determines the competencies of real-estate project managers and preliminarily establishes a competency model for real-estate project managers. The model includes both diagnostic competency and basic competency in which the former includes professional spirit, structured thinking, control ability, holistic view, and communication management, while the latter includes team spirit and experience. Our research results have application prospects in identifying the competencies of real-estate project managers and can help the enterprises quickly identify excellent talent, define the talent cultivation focus and direction, and establish a talent pool, so as to provide human resources and guarantee smooth implementation of projects.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
