ABSTRACT
This paper dwells on the personality types of civil engineers and attempts to explore how personality types play roles in cross functional teams. The major objective of this paper is to identify common personality types of civil engineers by synthesizing the findings of various studies. In addition, two major departments of a State Public Agency studied by Johnson & Singh (1998) are analyzed to understand the influence of personality types in a cross-functional set up. Finally, this paper focuses on rationalization of personality types of civil engineers for improved team performance in construction organizations.
