Abstract
This research is quasi-experimental research. Its objective is to study the effectiveness of super-leadership development program for construction project managers (PMs) in engineering consulting business in Bangkok. Fifty PMs were divided equally into experimental and control groups. Data were collected using a super-leadership questionnaire in a pre-test prior to participating in the program, a post-test immediately after the participation and a follow-up test one month later. Results showed that in the post-test PMs received program had super-leadership higher than their super-leadership in the pre-test and higher than PMs in the control group with statistical significance. Also, in the follow-up test PMs received program had super-leadership lower than their super-leadership in the post-test, still higher than their super-leadership in the pre-test and had no statistical significance with the control group. Researcher suggested long-term methods in strengthening and developing super-leadership in order to make the persistence of super-leadership.
