Description
Summary:On the basis of the 46 competence elements in the International Project Management Association (IPMA) ICB Version 3.0 and the PMP competence guidelines in PMBOK® Guide -- Fifth Edition by the Project Management Institute, this study formulates a “Preliminary Draft of the Taiwan Project Management Competence Scale”. After expert review, a pretest was developed for the Taiwan Project Management Competence Scale. With adult students in adult education institutions as the respondents, a pretest was conducted in order to collect data. Confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analysis were then conducted to construct the “Taiwan Project Management Competence Scale”, which covers the four dimensions of project management of cognitive and conceptual competences, behavioral and technical competences, contextual competences, and moral and ethical competences. It is intended that this scale could be used as reference in future investigations into and measurement of project management competence in Taiwan, thus, facilitating the diagnosis, improvement, and refinement of performance in terms of project management competence.
