    Assessment Model for Communication Maturity Levels of Construction Companies
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2014) Bavunoğlu, Zeynep; Günaydın, Hüsnü Murat
    Communication management systems are vital parts of organizational development and performance. Organizations have complex characteristics including decision making, information aggregation, management control, career concerns, goal setting and vertical and horizontal communication. In recent years, it has been found out that communication has an important effect on all these characteristics. But quantifying the effectiveness of the communication is difficult because it has many non-measurable variables. An effective communication can increase the level of effectiveness of the organization and the level of the effectiveness of communication system can be assessed by using maturity models. A maturity model describes the activities of processes and it impacts the performance of the organization. To find out the structure and maturity level of the communication system in a construction company, the Communication Capability Maturity Model (CCMM) is developed and its levels for communication maturity. To define a maturity level for a construction company, some variables of communication are measured as speed, the purpose, spread, clarity, shortness, scope and the other variables. The developed methodology uses a questionnaire survey. Survey has two parts; (1) organizational communication system and (2) emotions/moods of the employees. The results and analysis show that developed CCMM working properly and there are strong interdependencies between the variables (i.e. organizational communication system and moods, information, organization, team, individual and product). There is a negative moderate high correlation between communication capability maturity level (CCML) and negative moods. There is a moderate high correlation between the communication capability maturity level and level of emotional management behavior.

    A Model for Assesing Project Management Maturity Level of Architectural Design Offices (arch-Pmm)
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2007) Beset, Doğan Arda; Günaydın, Hüsnü Murat
    The aim of this dissertation is to develop a model to assess .The Project Management Maturity Level of an Architectural Design Office. (Arch-PMM). The purpose of ARCH-PMM is to develop an environment for productive and efficient design conditions. By increasing the levels of ARCH-PMM, architectural design office will create opportunity to focus on its concerns for high quality architectural design process. To determine whether Arch-PMM assessment methodology is working properly, a semi structured survey is conducted with selected architectural design offices. This study is the first attempt that focuses on architectural design offices. PM practices and processes. A 5 leveled PM Maturity Model is developed to assess architectural design offices. current PM Maturity level. Maturity levels are assessed vis a semi-structured survey. 71 Members of the Association of Turkish Independent Architects (ATIA)participated to semi-structured survey to validate the model. A list of demographical questions was asked to draw the demographical picture of the architectural design offices. Both, maturity levels and demographical data are analyzed. The results of the assessment provide the necessary information for the architects to improve their PM processes and activities. Project Integration Management was highly mature among the other function areas and it.s followed by Project Scope Management. The least matured function area was the Project Risk Management. High correlation values between the number of staff and all PM function areas are also observed. Yearly income level and overall maturity level of the architectural design offices are found to be related at correlation high levels (r.0.73). The well defined structure of architectural design process seems to support project management culture and have potentials of high project management maturity levels.
