This study, however, focuses onthe comparison between the executive indicators of the civil projects at both universities; based onthe ideas of the decision-makers and authorities of the projects. In this study it has been found thatthe difference between some indicators is small. It means that the ideas of both groups in bothuniversities are similar or close to each other; which may show the accuracy in completing thequestionnaire and the methodology used. In this paper, the results of this comparative study arepresented and discussed.
