- Abstract:
In management practice, personnel functions and personnel information needs are the very first areas that are systematically tackled. This is because a manager or supervisor cannot perform his/her functions efficiently without proper information on which to base decisions. However, construction industry studies and researchers do not emphasize these areas. Thus, there is a lack of information in the construction industry regarding functions, responsibilities, and information needs of construction personnel. Results are presented of a field study conducted to determine: (a) The primary role of the key individuals at the various management levels (i.e., their functions, responsibilities and authorities); and (b) the type of information these personnel require in order to effectivery perform their functions. The management level grouping approach is used to present the role and information needs of the key construction personnel identified in the study.
