“…Figure 2 shows the direct effects between latent variables in terms of the estimated path coefficients. Table 7 summarises the results for the four paths, and the four paths are positive and significant at p < 0.05 [70]. Meanwhile, the values of indirect effects are calculated in the corresponding column, such as Coop-En→Pri-Ch→Proc-Ch; its indirect effect is 0.41 (0.78 × 0.53).…”

“…The value of the index of RMSEA is less than 0.08, suggesting that the final model is supported with a high level of confidence. In addition, the values of the incremental fit indices of TLI and CFI are greater than 0.9, providing strong evidence for the acceptable fit between the hypothetical model and the data [69,70].…”

“…Meanwhile, it allows measurement errors in observed and latent variables [69]. A researcher can directly measure observed variables according to the data collected, and latent variables are the most important variables needed by researchers to measure or estimate, although they are not directly observed [70]. Moreover, with complex relationships being identified visually and systematically, the SEM is more helpful in discovering the underlying interrelationships among CSFs [26,70].…”

“…All of the path coefficients are positive (except one) and significant at p < 0.05, and these findings also indicate that out of nine, eight hypotheses, i.e., H1, H2, H3, H4, H6, H7 and H8, are supported based on the data collected from the questionnaire survey. The indirect effects or mediation effects are determined though the method applied by Xiong et al to identify the mediation effects among some latent variables in the SEM model [70]. Figure 2 shows the direct effects between latent variables in terms of the estimated path coefficients.…”

Examining the Interrelationship among Critical Success Factors of Public Private Partnership Infrastructure Projects

Abstract:Examining the interrelationships among critical success factors (CSFs) for public private partnership (PPP) projects is of importance for improving PPP project performance and maintaining the sustainability of PPP project implementation. Previous studies mostly focused on the identification of the CSFs for PPP projects; limited studies investigated the interrelationships among CSFs. Hence, the research objectives are (a) to determine the interrelationships among CSFs of PPP projects taking into account the public and (b) to identify influence paths contributing to take advantage of CSFs in the process of PPP implementation. A literature review and expert interviews were adopted to construct the CSFs framework; nine hypotheses were constructed and tested by the structural equation modelling (SEM) based on the data collected from a questionnaire survey. This research reveals that the relationship between public and private partners is the leader-follower relationship, not the partnership relationship, in PPP projects, indicating that the responsibilities, power or resources existing among partners are very unequal. It also highlights that public involvement has a negative effect on the process of service provisions, and costs and risks exist in the process of public involvement in PPP projects. The determined interrelationships among CSFs will contribute to the sustainability and success of a PPP project.

“…PLS is more suitable for small samples (Chin, Marcolin, & Newsted, 2003) as in the case of the current research where the sample size of 184 was adequate but relatively small. Also the use of single-item measurement scales in the current research made PLS a more appropriate method to use as unlike covariance based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) where inclusion of single items mostly results in model under-identification, PLS-SEM has no such restriction (Xiong, Skitmore, & Xia, 2015).…”

Sustainability is an inherently complex problem. Often, a reductionist mindset underpins corporate sustainability practices. Understanding the collective impact of systems thinking and paradoxical cognition on sustainability practices could foster new cognitive strategies for sustainability efforts. Informed by stakeholder theory, this study investigates the impacts of systems thinking and paradoxical cognition on sustainability practices in small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs). Primary data was collected through a survey of SME managers in the United Arab Emirates (n = 554), and the hypothesized model was analyzed using structural equation modelling. The findings imply that systems thinking, paradoxical thinking, and the ability to recognize paradoxical tensions positively influenced sustainability practices. The study's findings offer novel insights advocating for the integration of cognitive frameworks and sustainability practices in the context SMEs, highlighting the need for a shift from traditional linear management approaches to more adaptive and integrative strategies.
