The ranking of Construction Management journals
Construction Management and Economics, 1997Co-Authors: Chau Kwong WingAbstract:The quality of Construction Management journals is assessed using a questionnaire survey approach. Construction Management is broadly defined to include studies of the human aspects of the Construction process. Twenty-two journals related to Construction Management are identified. Questionnaires were sent to potential respondents by e-mail. Respondents were asked to assess the quality of the journals that they are familiar with. Although there is some evidence showing that respondents who are editorial board members or authors of a journal tend to give a slightly higher score to that journal, the relative ranking of the journals is not affected substantially by such tendency. Some statistically significant results on the ranking of the journals are obtained irrespective of the relatively small sample size compared with some surveys of other main stream journals.

Human Factors Simulation in Construction Management Education.
European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010Co-Authors: Martin Jaeger, Desmond AdairAbstract:Successful Construction Management depends primarily on the representatives of the involved Construction project parties. In addition to effective application of Construction Management tools and concepts, human factors impact significantly on the processes of any Construction Management endeavour. How can human factors in Construction Management be taught effectively? Although simulations are applied in Construction Management education, they have not incorporated human factors sufficiently. The focus on human factors as part of the simulation of Construction Management situations increases students’ learning effectiveness within a cross-cultural teaching setting. This paper shows the development of discrete-event human factors in Construction Management simulation. A description of the source code is given. Learning effectiveness in a cross-cultural education setting was analysed by evaluating data obtained through student questionnaire surveys. The mean score obtained by the students using the simulato...

The role of theory in Construction Management: a call for debate
Construction Management and Economics, 1997Co-Authors: David Seymour, Darryll Crook, John RookeAbstract:We raise a number of questions concerning the theoretical basis of Construction Management, and enquire into the nature of Construction Management theory. We highlight the dominant research paradigm in Construction Management, and call for attention to be paid to alternative research paradigms. We call for a scholarly debate to investigate these issues.
