Afshari, A R (2017) Methods for selection of construction project manager: Case study. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 143(12): 06017003, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to develop a systematic method for identifying the best among the candidates in the process of construction project manager selection by applying two methods. The proposed method combines the Delphi method and the fuzzy linguistic evaluation to enhance selection. The outcome of this study addresses the issue of high error in decision making, which is a very common problem in the construction industry. The models were examined using a case study in a project-based organization for selecting the most suitable project construction manager, in which three candidates under 14 different subcriteria are evaluated and prioritized by three decision makers. The results show that the proposed model performs very well and can improve efficiency in the decision-making process.

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
