Questionnaire Study
Analysing the data in the questions asked under the broad heading “Information Flow”, we come to find that in the construction industry, majority (40%) of respondents feel that the manager is reluctant to pass on data to them on a daily basis (Q1), majority (46%) believe that the top management hears their views (Q2), they also believe (69%) that there is good horizontal communication flow (Q3) and most of them (49%) are very comfortable putting forth their views to their managers (Q4). Hence we can say that the flow of information from top management to bottom of the hierarchy is not as smooth when compared to bottom-to top management and horizontally across the hierarchy in construction industry.
