Multiple performance indexes were developed by measuring some 130 observations in organizational variables. The relevant organizational variables were first determined, then using responses to a questionnaire sent to engineering managers, the performance indexes were developed. Next, the results for both public and private sectors were analyzed and the conclusions were drawn. The study concluded that in most organizations, the overall operation performance is a function of the performance of the developed indexes. The results also showed most engineering management professionals widely perceive that their individual ability is much betterthan theirperformance as a group. They also perceived their ability is better than the group when it came to decision management. Both inferences are indicative of a weakness in team management in the surveyed engineering management organizations. The study further concluded that when compared with private firms, public sector engineering managers generally possess higher individual confidence, are better trained and equipped for thejob, operate under less pressure, believe in their policies (though they acknowledge room for improvement), feel positive about their organization work environment, and are generally more satisfied with theirjobs. Further, the research showed a more comfortable public sector work place and operating style. By analyzing the deviations in the indexes we verified that in most cases the responses were well focused making the drawn conclusion consistent with group responses. Also an analysis ofvariance (ANOVA) was performed on the results to confirm that the variability in results is not due to statistical chances and general randomness. The ANOVA testing provided also an additional validation to the conclusions ofthe study. This has both served the accuracy of the sampling method and confirmed the integrity ofthe derived deductions.Thesishttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/ConfidenceConflict ManagementDecision ManagementOperational PerformanceOrganizational DevelopmentPerformance DiagnosisSystem Variables
