The Construction industry is a challenging, competitive and rapidly growing industry. Because of urbanization, infrastructural development and people's rising expectations for improved quality of living, construction become the second largest economic activity in India. As a result there is a competition for finding efficient and talented engineers which results in increased rate of Engineers’ attrition. Engineers’ attrition affects the overall efficiency of the organization. It results in loss of productivity, profit, time; resources etc.The sample of study consists of 120 engineers working in various construction organizations in India through questionnaire. The SPSS software was used for data analysis and findings. The purpose of this study is to find out the various reasons for Engineers turnover and to suggest effective retention strategies for Engineers’ retention. This study concludes that pay, Job satisfaction, Increased job opportunities, Lack of growth opportunities, Lack of respect from superiors have a great effect on engineers attrition.

<p class="CorpodoresumoIVCBM">A construção civil tem sido considerada uma das mais importantes atividades para o desenvolvimento da sociedade, porém é uma atividade que causa impactos ambientais, pois utiliza recursos naturais, modifica o meio ambiente e gera um grande volume de resíduos. Nota-se que as atividades ligadas à construção civil no município de Mossoró-RN, são responsáveis por gerar uma quantidade considerável de resíduos de construção civil (RCC), que na maioria das vezes, são depositados em locais irregulares, por não haver na cidade um local específico para esse fim. Esses resíduos constituem um grave problema, tanto para o meio ambiente quanto para qualidade de vida da população. A pesquisa foi realizada com o objetivo de mapear áreas de depósito irregular de resíduos provenientes da construção civil na cidade de Mossoró-RN. Foi realizada a demarcação dos pontos de acordo com a localização do despejo dos resíduos, com a finalidade de identificar e indicar sua localização dentro da zona urbana de Mossoró-RN. No presente estudo, foi possível identificar 11 pontos de deposição irregular de resíduos provenientes da construção civil, espalhados em diferentes locais da cidade, alguns situando-se próximo de áreas residenciais, o que caracteriza sérios riscos à saúde pública, e outros dispostos próximos de cursos d’água, o que provoca degradação do meio ambiente.</p><p class="western" align="center"><strong><em>Mapping of irregular dumping of solid waste from construction industry at Mossoró-RN, Brazil</em></strong><em></em></p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Construction industry has been considered one of the most important activities regarding to society development, however it causes environmental impacts, because it uses natural resources, modifies the environment and generate a huge amount of waste. It was observed that in Mossoró, RN, Brazil, a large amount of construction waste is often deposed in unauthorized sites because the municipality does not provide a specific site for this purpose. Such waste is a serious problem for the environment and for the people’s quality of living. In this context a research was carried out with the objective of mapping sites of non authorized deposition of construction waste in the city of Mossoró, RN, Brazil. With this intent, points were georeferenced according to the location of deposition of waste, with the objective of identifying and indicating its location inside the urban zone of the city. At the end of the study were identified eleven sites of unauthorized deposition of construction waste, all over the city, some of which were located near residential areas, what poses a serious hazard to public health, while other sites were near water streams, what promote environmental degradation.</p>

In the article the methodological approach towards the assessment of competitiveness of organizations and their construction products, which allows to increase the efficiency of management of the competitiveness process of the construction organizations, is substantiated. The authors propose the methodological approach towards the validation of the quantitative assessment of the competitiveness potential of the organizations. The approaches are based on the criteria of optimality, mitigation of risks of losing the potential for increasing the competitive advantages of the organization and mitigation of the payback period of the investments, targeted at the formation of the potential of the internal environment with the aim of developing the competitive advantage. This proposal allows increasing the quality of the analysis and the assessment of the potential of the internal environment of the organizations and carrying out the result-oriented diagnostics, collection, processing, analysis and assessment of the necessary information in order to select the directions for the development of the entrepreneurial potential of the internal environment of the organization.

The problem of reorganization, as many types of rearrangement in the dyad ‘man-equipment’ (‘operator-equipment’ in transport; ‘worker-equipment’ in mechanical engineering; ‘tenant-building’ in construction and in housing and communal services), is constantly relevant in a developing society. Modeling of ways and forms of solving this problem, the study of different types of reorganization in the dyad ‘man-equipment’, rationing their characteristics and identifying rational areas of their application in the construction industry of our country has been going on since the first half of the 20th century. Scientific studies of the reorganization problem, the proposed functioning models of each of the types of construction reorganization, formation and improvement of regulatory documents of construction production provide effective activities of construction organizations and a necessary level of quality of processes and results of construction production. At the beginning of the 20th century, the main type of construction reorganization was ‘repair’, which by the middle of the century was divided into three distinguishable categories: repair as such, reconstruction and restoration. Each of these categories has individual properties, characteristics and a range of functioning. The basis for this division was social need. At the end of the 20th century, social phenomena of Russian reality again required a revision of the categories of construction reorganization, therefore, construction science proposed innovative types of construction reorganization (renovation, reversal, recomposition, retreatment, etc.). Each type was a response to a new manifestation of social requirements, all types were equally relevant. Only in the second decade of the 21st century, the urban planning and building production reacted to these achievements of the national building science and chose renovation as a basic type of innovative building. The article discusses a renovation model (П-graph of innovative types of construction reorganization), which allows analysis (downscaling, disintegration) and synthesis (enlargement, integration) of concepts, levels and results of construction reorganization processes.

Quality outcomes from vocational education and training (VET) are fundamental to ensuring a skilled workforce and supporting a productive economy. The quality of vocational training from the demand’s perspective is defined as meeting the customer specification, needs or requirements. Using the method of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Multiple Regression Analysis to get the analytical results of 275 respondents as graduates of University of Transport and Communication, University of Transport Technology (the two universities training on transportation in the North of Vietnam), the results show that factors are measured by the observed variables in the study that ensure reliability and relevance. The descriptive statistics result of vocational training quality is 3.28, while all independent variables are at average level (between 3.1 to 3.48) with the highest value related to the quality of the teacher and the lowest are facilities and training programs and management capacity of university. However, the regression results show that the qualification of the teacher, material facilities and training program, management capacity and job opportunities at the training school do not affect the quality of the training while “Learners-NH” have a great positive effect and the labor market information has a negative effect on the training quality of the school significantly. Base on those data, some policy recommendations have been given out in order to improve the training quality of transport technology universities in the north of Vietnam in particular and the vocational training quality of Vietnam in general.
