Abstract

Construction engineering experts' competency is a major factor in the construction services sector. It is because competency factors become the dominant factor that causes both failure and success for a project. Construction engineering experts need to be kept competent; this is intended to ensure that a project can succeed and run smoothly. Integrating skills, knowledge, and attitudes will produce individual competencies to help them carry out their work. Individual's performance measures competency assessment. Performance is the result of competence. In many construction projects, the performance of construction engineering experts is the most required in the construction process cycle. A qualitative research design was adopted for this study, specifically focusing on a systematic literature review. This approach allows for an in-depth analysis of existing literature, enabling the identification of key themes, patterns, and relationships between work competencies and expert performance in construction. Then, micro performance and macro performance influence the performance of a construction engineering expert. The proposed conceptual model is used to identify the relationships and interactions. This research is expected to show and explain the relationships and interactions between competencies and construction engineering expert performance.
