Abstract: The construction industry has focused mainly on management, and not on leadership. This is probably the reason construction project managers are not perceived as leaders and are mostly termed as managers. This paper is investigated on how behavioral competences can contribute to an effective leadership in the construction companies in Libya. Questionnaire was carried out by getting feedback from various ranged construction companies in Libya. Of 280 distributed questionnaires, two hundred and fifty five (255) useable questionnaires (91% response rate) were received and analyzed. This study has found that behavioral competences for both social/vocational and intraprofessional factors are shown to be positively significant only with the strategy management system of the participating companies
