Therefore, a characteristic of a project manager is an important issue for each project based organization. The purpose of this research is to examine differences in the competencies of construction project managers in Podlasie (Poland) and Johor Province (Malaysia). As a result of that study a classification trees were constructed. The characteristics that differentiate competence of construction project managers are features related to personality (expressing confidence, self-confidence, intellectual abilities, creativity) and managerial competence (ability to assess the impact of action taken, ability to work in a team, ability to formulate goals, ability to deal with stress and ability to make decisions) of the project manager. The research results contribute to cross-cultural studies in project management through identification of features that differentiate project managers’ competencies in various countries.
