Faulkner, A C and Day, A K (1986) Images of status and performance in building team occupations. Construction Management and Economics, 4(3), pp. 245-260. ISSN 01446193
Abstract
The paper analyses the issues of social status and performance evaluation amongst the design and construction professions. Detailed results of a 1985 study of inter-occupational evaluation are presented and compared to the well-known similar study published in 1965 by the Tavistock Institute. Potential implications of the results are drawn out for education and training, working relationships, work organization and inter-profession relationships in the construction industry.

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
