Abstract
This study explored the linkage between personal competencies and leadership behaviours as well as their influences on leadership outcomes and
subordinates’ work performance. Personal competencies were measured using the Project Manager Competency Development (PMCD) tool. Leadership
behaviours and outcomes were measured using Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). Data was collected from construction projects in Thailand.
Findings revealed that leadership outcomes have significant positive relationship with all personal competencies specified in the PMCD framework, every
factor in the transformational style and contingent reward factor in the transactional style. Transformational leaders tend to produce high work quality, work
quantity, and problem solving creativity from subordinates. Findings further verified that all PMCD personal competencies have significant positive relationship
with every factor in the transformational style. It implies that project managers who apply the transformational style and/or have high personal competencies
indicated in PMCD framework are likely to generate greater leadership outcomes and work performance on construction projects
