摘要

A questionnaire was distributed among engineers of Oahu District to evaluate211u001eteamwork and leadership skills. The model evaluates two basic parameters-the 211u001edecision taking capability (D-scale) and information input by group during 211u001edecision making (I-scale). These two scales are plotted on X and Y-axes 211u001erespectively. Five types of leaders are evaluated-consultative autocrats, 211u001ecomplete autocrats, consensus managers, impoverished managers (or shareholders), 211u001eand active managers. The results showed overwhelmingly that 70% of RE's/AE's and 211u001e50% of PE's can be categorized as falling in the impoverished manager's zone. 211u001eThese percentage figures might be reduced slightly if certain gray areas are 211u001egranted to the zones. However, any such impact is not significant. Demographic 211u001eevaluations are made for age, years of experience, years of design experience, 211u001eyears with HDOT and Oahu District, religious mindedness, ethnic origin, religion, 211u001emarital status, and family encouragement. The analysis for each is provided in 211u001edetail in the text and illustrated in visual graphs of D-I plots. Among the 211u001erecommendations are to provide intensive training, a nurturing and coaching 211u001eenvironment, improve the quality of the work premises, provide significant work 211u001erecognition awards, increase authority delegation, and reorganize.
