Contents: This paper examines the types of power in organizations, authority, empowerment, organization politics, employees' resistance to change, leadership style and conflicts within construction organizations which may negate the effective development, implementation and maintenance of quality management systems. The results of a questionnaire and in-depth interviews are analysed. Diverse management factors including support of senior management, appropriate leadership style, cultivating employee's enthusiasm and participation, open communication and feedback must be managed properly to achieve quality management systems in the construction industry. Cet article examine les differents types de pouvoir dans les societes industrielles, l'autorite, le renforcement des moyens d'action, les principes d'organisation, la resistance du personnel au changement, les styles de direction et les conflits a l'interieur des societes du batiment et de la construction qui peuvent avoir un effet negatif sur le developpement efficace, la mise en oeuvre et le maintien en l'etat de systemes de gestion de la qualite. Les auteurs analysent les reponses a un questionnaire et les resultats d'entretiens approfondis. Un certain nombre de facteurs de gestion, notamment le soutien fourni par les cadres superieurs, le style de direction approprie, l'enthousiasme du personnel a cultiver, la participation du personnel, la transparence dans la communication et l'information en retour, doivent etre geres correctement pour que l'industrie du batiment dispose de systemes de gestion de la qualite.
