Assessing the construction site supervisory attributes in effectuating mathematical theories and applications to construction operations

Purpose Site supervision features largely influence the productivity status of construction operational processes. This study aims to use a case containing mixed methods test site supervisory traits in applying mathematical theories operations for directing capabilities under various characteristics. Design/methodology/approach A total 62 supervisors were trained as part new apprenticeship programme. Through literature reviews and expert consultations, grading criteria designed with degrees descriptions score ratings. The attributes evaluated seven competency element characteristics mapped relevant learning domains. Findings results demonstrate detailed sectional view performance ratings different factors validity, reliability, applicability generalisability assurance research findings using statistical tests evaluations. Research limitations/implications Though applications engaged directly industry Sri Lankan setting, other developing countries emerging industries can also employ equivalent tactics attain similar outcomes their industry-based operations. Originality/value have led producing guide that makes significant impacts on deciding capability levels while executing problem-solving planning Accordingly, push open gate intake advanced cognitive towards addressing industry's knowledge gap how problem-solving-based protocols need be linked features.
