Abstract

Administrative functions play a crucial role in the successful delivery of civil engineering projects. From documentation and coordination to scheduling and permit processing, the efficiency of these workflows directly affects overall project performance. This study aims to assess the leadership styles practiced by civil engineering professionals in managing administrative workflows and to examine their influence on task efficiency, communication, and staff coordination. Using a descriptive quantitative research design, data was gathered through survey questionnaires administered to civil engineering professionals involved in office-based project management. The study focused on how leadership behaviors—such as delegation, communication style, and decision-making—affect administrative outcomes like timely report submission, accurate documentation, and inter-departmental collaboration. The findings revealed that participative and transformational leadership styles are more closely associated with efficient workflow management and team satisfaction. The study provides actionable insights for project managers and engineering leaders aiming to strengthen administrative practices in the civil engineering sector.
