This paper first discusses t h e unique characteristics of civil e~ineeTir6 e ~ i s e s , their effects on management, ard the requir~ents of an e~i~eer-manager. It then turns to the question of employer-employee relationships, examines the attlt1~es with which marege~ ment a ~ e ~ o y e e s regard each o~her, ar~ suggests improvements in this regard. N ~ follows a ahc~t discussion of work simplification applicable to construction operations, a~d the selection a~l trainlr~ of perso~r~l. The r ~ r k a b l e success of i~rlustrial relations at Gore (Nc~thern T~Ti~0ry) is then e x p l a ~ l in some detail, amd ~he pal~r concludes with specific proposals fmr greater stability in the construction ir~uatry.
