Faulkner, A C; Sargent, J H and Wearne, S H (1989) Civil engineers' managerial roles and needs: Report of survey. Construction Management and Economics, 7(2), pp. 155-174. ISSN 01446193
Abstract
The paper presents results from a survey of civil engineers' jobs, their organizational positions, and the managerial skills and knowledge required. Analysis of the data obtained shows great differences between these requirements and educational preparation for them. Much increased preparation through training, self study and continuing education should therefore be of benefit to civil engineers and the performance of their 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
