A Review on Dominant Factors of Project Manager Competency in Various Implementations for the Construction Industry

Abstract

In carrying out construction projects, the competence of a project manager is always debated by civil engineering practitioners, because the project manager is very important and a key factor in achieving successful project implementation. Therefore, a project manager must have the appropriate competencies to lead the implementation of construction projects. Existing competency research has been identified from various global competency sources, such as IPMA Competency Base Line (ICB), APM Competency Framework (ACF), and Project Management Competency Development (PMCD). When looking at it as a whole, their competencies have a lot in common with the competencies in PMCD. There are three main groups of PMCD competencies namely: Knowledge Competence, Technical Competence, and Personal Competence. This research examines previous research articles related to project manager competencies for successful projects. This research was randomized to global research since 5 years ago, starting from 2018 to 2022. This paper reviews the competencies strictly to determine the dominant project manager competencies that are widely used in the implementation of construction projects. This research examines and determines the appropriate factors sequentially in the three competency groups for project success. This study produces the most dominant competency factors and is widely used by project managers to be successful in handling construction projects.
