Abstract

The South Korean construction industry has grown larger and more complex through collaboration with various fields. In the construction industry, faced with the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the importance of project managers is growing for successful construction projects. Amid these changes, it is necessary to grasp the capabilities and importance of project managers for the development of the South Korean construction industry and analyze how they affect it. This study aims to review the required capabilities of the project manager and suggest implications with a comparison of current capabilities and importance. To this end, a survey was conducted on the importance and Performance of the project manager. Using collected data, changes in capabilities are identified by comparing the Performance and importance of project managers respectively in 2010 and 2022 through the Importance - Performance Analysis (IPA) method. The analysis results show changes in the Performance and importance of project managers according to changes in the construction environment, and the insufficient capabilities of them. Based on this research, it is expected that efficient construction management will be possible amid changes in the construction environment by presenting the method to improve necessary capabilities to project managers in South Korea.
