| dc.description.abstract | Team building refers bringing all the team members to work together towards one common goal. The integrity and creativity of all the team members lead to a successful project. Even though effective team management is essential for high team performance, building such a great team is not an easy task. It is agreed that the challenge of managing the project team is more difficult than the technical aspects of the project. Thus, this research is done to assess team building practices in Addis Ababa Bole International Airport expansion projects under China Communications Construction Company Ltd. The objectives of the study are to identify team building practices, team dimensions and Assessment of Team Building Practice in two selected projects under this company. To conduct this study, a descriptive research design was applied, and to collect data for this research, a five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used. This research project attempted to discover and describe how project team building was practiced in the selected project, including team acquisition, development, management, leading, team performance, team productivity, team innovation and efficiency, team decision-making, team conflict, team communication, team coordination, cooperation, and cohesion, team climate, and team challenges. The result revealed that there is a gap in team building practice, mainly in team development, team acquisition, and team decision areas. This result implies that the organization needs to work for the improvement of these areas so that it can build a great team for better performance and productivity to achieve the project goal The researcher suggests that the Addis Ababa Bole International Airport expansion project requires a clear ground rule for acquiring qualified and experienced team members, regular performance evaluations, and feedback to mitigate difficulties. Proper team development practices should be implemented, and decision-making should involve team members to increase commitment and encourage their ideas. The project management should give more attention to team building since building a great team will improve team performance and productivity and ensure the success of the project | |
