Abstract: The current paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to benchmark the leadership efficiency of civil engineers based on the leadership flexibility space diagram. Since the traditional DEA model does not fit for this problem, a simple modification has been made to enhance the L1-Norm and CCR models to tackle the problem. The engineers are considered to be the decision making unit (DMU). Questionnaires were prepared and responses were received from engineers in an Iranian construction company (MD-2 Corporation) as a case study. The leadership flexibility space diagram uses two basic parameters: (1) a decision-making authority and; (2) data input to a group for decision-making. These parameters are considered as the output, and the model has no input-parameter. The assessment of DEA measures the proximity of the DMUs from the active management. Finally, a correlation among the attributes with leadership efficiency has been considered.
