| dc.description.abstract | This study is conducted to assess the project manager selection practices in the case of Ethiopian Construction Works Corporation. Data was collected using questionnaire and interview. The questionnaire was distributed to thirty-one human resource department personnel who are randomly selected from the total population and the interview was conducted with four representatives of the four sectors of ECWC. Then, the collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics by applying SPSS version 25 application. The main findings indicate that project management knowledge areas are well exercised to select an individual as a project manager. Technical skills, educational background, professional experience and recommendation by immediate supervisor are the top criteria and value of soft skill is underestimated in the process in the project manager selection process. The project manager selection process depends on personal judgment of committee members. Being a project manager is not only about having hard skill or technical knowhow. Finally, based on the reviewed literatures the study recommends to the corporation to give more attention for soft skills in its project manager selection practices. Key words: Project manager; project manager selection; hard skill; soft skill; project manager selection criteria | |
