【 摘 要 】

In Nigeria there is shortage of competent craftsmen due to project management skills (PMS) deficiency in their quality of training. This study investigates the effect of craftsmen supervisors PMS on construction project success in Nigeria, with a view to improving on craftsmen supervisors' productivity. Disproportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to administer 132 questionnaires to project managers (PM). Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result shows that craftsmen supervisors PMS requirements are relevant and positively relates to construction project success. This implied that PMS can improve craftsmen supervisors productivity, as well as bridge the gap between project management approach (PMA) and construction operations execution. The skills will as well enhanced construction supervision and operations productivity to attain project success. Hence the study recommends PMS to be integrated in craftsmen supervisors training in Nigeria.
