This paper aims to connect and find the relation between behavioral characteristics of site engineer and the process of decision making. By reviewing the literature related to the process of decision making and behavioral characteristics, a model is created and constructed to relate these characteristics with their effect on the decision making process. This paper finds that some behavioral characteristics have major impact on the decision making process such as self–control, reliability, creativity, and ability to handle crises. Motivation and leadership have bigger impact on running works. Qualitative methods, based on interviews with site engineers was used.
