A study on the applicability of quality circles to construction projectseSAT Journals
Â
Abstract There is a rising need for infrastructural development in the city of Bangalore. As there are over 800 construction, civil engineering, building and development firms in and around the city, there is high competition. One of the factors which proves to be imperative in giving a competitive edge to these firms is good quality of their work among others like improved productivity and timely completion of their projects. Quality circles (QC) have been found to be a simple and productive technique of Total Quality Management (TQM) , despite having low cost of quality. Although QC is native to the production industry, it has been proposed to be implementable in construction industry. QCâs have never reportedly been used in the Indian construction industry. As the construction industry is significantly different from the production industry and the Indian organisational culture is also very different as compared to many countries like Japan where QCâs thrive, this paper seeks to analyse and study the applicability of QCs as an efficient TQM method to construction projects in and around Bangalore city. This paper seeks to accomplish this by highlighting the favourable conditions and hindrances that application of QCâs might face in Indian construction industry. The research methodology includes a detailed literature review and a questionnaire survey. The data was analysed using Index Average Method and percentage representations, both accompanied by descriptive analysis. Based on the analysis of the data obtained from the survey it was concluded that the Indian construction industry possesses various conditions which prove to be highly favourable towards the application of QC, however the temporary nature of the teams formed on construction projects, and the present organisational culture which might not support participative management have been found to be questionable conditions, which require improvement. Key Words: Quality Circles (QC), Total Quality Management (TQM), Participative Management, and Facilitator
An Analysis on Employee Turnover Problem in Construction Industryijtsrd
Â
Employee turnover refers to the employees leaving an organization due to various reasons which can be voluntary or involuntary. The study focuses on voluntary turnover. Turnover intent acts as a precedent to turnover and hence the survey measures turnover intention as a precedent for turnover. The study has been conducted to understand the factors relevant to the career decisions of the professionals working in the industry and how well the factors are being fulfilled in the current scenario. The data was collected by a questionnaire survey to determine the relevant factors and their satisfaction levels. The importance of factors was assessed using Relative Importance index and correlation between importances. The factors and satisfaction were correlated to determine areas where improvement was needed to improve satisfaction and hence mitigate turnover intentions. R. Ragul | A.

Factors Leading To Success of Indian Construction Companies.IOSR Journals
Â
Achieving success is a highly critical issue for the companies to survive in a competitive business environment. The construction industry is also an area where there is strong competition due to a large number of construction contractors. There have been many factors such as qualified employees, quality workmanship and financial management that can lead to company success in the construction industry. The aim of this study was to investigate the critical factors leading to construction company success. Within this context, a survey was carried out among 7 Indian construction companies which are located in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra region of India. In this survey, top-level managers and owners of the companies were interviewed. The interviews took place over a three month period between August and October 2013. Finally, the ranking of the critical success factors has been determined by using the Point Rating Technique. Based on the results, Cash flow management characteristics was determined as the most important factor to company success

This paper presents an empirical study conducted to find out the role of pre-employment training in enhancement of employability. The study was specifically focused upon the automobile cluster employing the fresh engineering diploma holders. The universe of the study consisted of 26 such industries. Stratified random sampling technique was employed for drawing the sample classified into two groups: - 1) Managerial level and 2) Supervisory level consisting of engineering diploma holders. Standardized scales were administered to 572 Ss out of which 12 responses were dropped down, and 560 Ss were retained in the final sample put to experimentation. Descriptive and analytical research techniques were applied for the analysis of the data collected during the experiment. Statistical tools like âCronbach alpha coefficientâ, âPearson correlation coefficientâ, âAnalysis of variance (ANOVA)â etc were employed for treatment of the collected data for drawing the useful conclusions and testing of the hypotheses. From the experimental analysis the employability of diploma engineers was found to be associated with pre-employment training. Such a study focused on the fresh engineering diploma holders employable by the industries has yet not been reported in the literature.
All most all infrastructure projects are being over running in terms of either time or amount and even deteriorated

Today the whole world is being very competitive not only in developed country but also in developing and underdeveloped country. Indian economy is very fast developing economy in whole world. In India, construction industries are playing vital role to develop India. Now a dayâs in construction industries, not only big but also small construction companies is very competitive and in many companies is trying very hard not only to satisfy their customerâs needs but where possible exceed them. This can only be achieved through cost reduction, improvement in Quality, increased customer satisfaction and a constant effort towards world class organizations. In order for companies to survive and grow in the future, it is essential that they deliver high quality construction and services. Those that can deliver quality are the ones that will prosper in the next century. The Indian construction industry as compared with Construction Company of developed countries is being viewed as one with poor quality emphasis compared to other sectors like, the manufacturing and service sectors. Total quality management TQM is increasingly being adopted by construction companies as an initiative to solve quality problems in the construction industry and to meet the needs of the customer continuously. TQM has the potential to improve business results, greater customer orientation and satisfaction, worker involvement and fulfillment, team working and better management of workers within companies. However, construction firms have been continually struggling with its implementation. The implementation of a TQM within the organization requires a cultural change and its being recognized as an important aspect of total quality development.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

⢠The construction industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in Nepal, contributing significantly to the
country's GDP and providing employment opportunities.
⢠Enhancing the operational efficiency of housing and real estate construction entrepreneurs is crucial for
industry growth and development.
⢠The construction industry in Nepal contributes around 10% to the country's GDP (Source: World Bank,
2021).
⢠The demand for housing in Nepal is estimated to be around 60,000 units per year, with a current housing
deficit of over 1.6 million units (Source: National Planning Commission, 2021).
⢠Despite the growth in the industry, the construction sector's labor productivity in Nepal is only around 5% of
that in developed countries (Source: World Bank, 2019).
⢠According to a survey by the International Labor Organization, over 70% of construction workers in Nepal
have no formal training (Source: International Labor Organization, 2019).

â˘Nepal's construction industry has seen significant growth in the housing and real estate construction sector
due to increased demand for affordable housing and infrastructure development.
â˘Entrepreneurs in this sector face challenges that hinder their operational efficiency, such as inadequate
infrastructure, lack of skilled labor, and limited access to finance (World Bank, 2019).
â˘Enhancing the operational efficiency of housing and real estate construction entrepreneurs is crucial for the
sustainable growth of the construction industry in Nepal.
â˘According to a study by Yadav et al. (2021), operational inefficiency in the Nepalese construction industry
can be attributed to various factors, including inadequate resources, poor project management, and
limited technology adoption.
â˘Gurung et al. (2018) found that training programs for entrepreneurs and workers can also enhance
operational efficiency by improving skills and knowledge.

9. Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) Theory
This theory suggests that the competitive advantage of firms lies in their
unique resources and capabilities, including skills, knowledge, and
technology. RBV can be used to analyze the resources and capabilities of
housing and real estate construction entrepreneurs in Nepal and how they
can be leveraged to enhance operational efficiency.
This theory suggests that the choice of governance structure in a transaction is influenced by
the relative transaction costs of different modes of governance. TCE can be used to analyze
the factors influencing the choice of governance structure in the construction industry in
Nepal, including the use of subcontracting and alliances.
Page 07
Resource-Based View (RBV) Theory
10. Dynamic Capabilities Theory
This theory suggests that organizations are influenced by the norms, values,
and rules of the institutional environment in which they operate.
Institutional theory can be used to analyze the institutional environment in
which housing and real estate construction entrepreneurs in Nepal operate
and how it affects their operational efficiency.
This theory suggests that firms can develop and exploit their dynamic capabilities to respond to
changes in the business environment. Dynamic capabilities theory can be used to analyze the
ability of housing and real estate construction entrepreneurs in Nepal to respond to changes in the
industry and enhance their operational efficiency.
