“…Construction project performance has been reported by literature with the following critical problems being found: poor quality, over budget, missing timeliness, unsafe construction and client dissatisfaction [1][2][3][4]. The factors that potentially influence the success or failure of construction projects must be identified to improve project performance.…”

Abstract:Cultural influence has recently received significant attention from academics due to its vital role in the success or failure of a project. In the construction industry, several empirical investigations have examined the influence of culture on project management. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of project organizational culture on the performance of construction projects. A total of 199 completed construction projects in Vietnam with specific data gathering through questionnaires were analyzed. The findings reveal that contractor commitment to contract agreements is the most significant cultural factor affecting project performance. Goal alignment and reliance, contractor commitment, and worker orientation (i.e., commitment to workers) contribute to improved overall performance and participant satisfaction. Contractor commitment and cooperative orientation enhance labor productivity, whereas goal alignment and trust and contractor commitment ensure learning performance (i.e., learning from experience). The findings of this study may assist construction professionals in implementing practices that can contribute to the sustainability and success of construction projects.

“…Appling Q-methodology in the construction and engineering projects, Suprapto et al (2015) attempted to reconstruct project practitioner's prospective concerning collaborative relationships between owner and contractors. Xiong et al (2014) Cheng (2011) utilized a BLDPP to formulate a sealed-bid, multi-issue, and multi-sourcing reverse auction problem in negotiation between a buyer and a set of suppliers. In the proposed model, the buyer is assumed the leader (i.e., the upper level decision maker) and the suppliers are assumed as independent followers (i.e., lower level decision makers).…”

In recent years, clients often employ multiple contractors to implement different activities of the projects. Each contractor manages and implements a subset of activities according to the determined schedule and payments. In this situation, time/cost trade-off problem becomes a distributed decision making problem in which the client, as leader, and the contractors, as followers, pursue their own objectives. We establish a multi-objective, bi-level distributed programming model based on fuzzy mathematical programming for this time/cost trade-off problem. The model is then developed for three common behaviors of client i.e. profit seeking, minimization of project time, as well as combination of profit seeking and minimization of project time behaviors. As the solution approaches, we propose transformation method based on Karush-KuhnTucker conditions projects to transform bi-level programming problem to a single level one. Numerical results reveal that the client's behaviors have measurable impact on time and cost of activities performed by contractors. Moreover, we found that when the client does not have complete information about the contractors' financial situations, the client should make tradeoff between his confidence level and his profit.

“…According to Ullman (2006) SEM is a collection of statistical techniques that allows a set of relations between one or more independent variables (IVs), either continuous or discrete, and one or more dependent variables (DVs), either continuous or discrete, to be examined. The variables can be latent ones, which are not directly observable due to their abstract manner, or measured ones, which contain objective facts that can be evaluated directly such as rating questions in a questionnaire (Xiong et al, 2014). Project owners' motivation, their commitment and delivery performance are latent variables in this study, and they have their respective measured variables.…”

“…The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out to validate the speculated measurement constructs for motivation, owner commitment and delivery performance (TDP & SDP) (Table 7- 4) thereby providing foundation for the SEM (Xiong, et al, 2014). The skewness and kurtosis coefficients of the data were calculated in order to assess the multivariate normality.…”

“…In the SEM model, direct relationship between latent factors is established when the regression coefficients ranges from negative (≤-1) to positive (≤+1) and significant at one tailed significance (p<0.05) (Xiong, et al, 2014). Higher regression coefficient value corresponds to greater relationship between latent factors (Doloi, et al, 2012).…”
