“…Theoretically, the improvement of organization guarantees is conducive to a better understanding and use of international construction standards. Thus, international standard knowledge learning (KL) (Hsu & Fang, 2009), talent guarantee (TG) (Wright & McMahan, 1992), technical support (TS) (Ogwueleka, 2011), relationship management (RM) (Ansoff & McDonnell, 1988) and organization guarantee (OG) (Anthony, 1988) are applied as dimensions of ICS application capability in this study.…”

The application capability of international construction standards (ICS) has become a necessary element for the success of contractors in the international market. However, there is a lack of quantitative analysis of the impact of ICS application capability on contractors’ competitiveness. This paper aims to explore the driving paths between them. The authors divided the competitiveness indicators into market performance indicators and image performance indicators and developed a standard application capability measurement scale based on five dimensions (knowledge learning, talent guarantee, technical support, relationship management and organization guarantee). Then, a structural equation model (SEM), in which project performance was regarded as a mediator variable, was established to investigate the path and intensity of ICS application capability on contractors’ competitiveness. A questionnaire was distributed to the project personnel of Chinese contractors engaged in international projects, and 174 valid questionnaires were collected. The results show that 1) relationship management and technical support have a direct driving effect on the competitiveness of contractors; 2) talent guarantees and organization guarantees affect contractors’ competitiveness through project performance. This study can remind contractors of the importance of the ICS application capability and the weakness of ICS application. Additionally, it will ultimately help contractors adjust their competitiveness strategies.

“…*The construction industry embodies one of the most significant sectors and is measured as one of the key contributors to the socio-economic growing of a country (Elawi et al, 2016). Throughout the last decade, and owing to the importance of construction, numerous studies have studied factors that support successful completion of construction projects, particularly those factors that have more impact on project success than others (Tabish and Jha, 2012;Ihuah et al, 2014;Kandelousi et al, 2011;Gunduz and Yahya, 2018;Gudienė et al, 2013a;2013b;Ogwueleka, 2011;Yong and Mustaffa, 2012;Cserháti and Szabó, 2014). The construction industry provides a greater challenge to retain its scheduled time, budgetary cost, and appropriate quality (Elawi et al, 2016).…”

“…Project size, value, type, complexity, urgency and density are the most characteristics of construction projects that were investigated (Belassi and Tukel, 1996;Chan et al, 2004;Gudienė et al, 2013a;Ademiluyi, 2010;Hyväri;. Furthermore, various researchers supported project environmental as an external factor influences on the construction project process includes virtually everything outside the project, including physical environment problems like location, soil works, availability of surrounding infrastructure and others (Park, 2009;Gudienė et al, 2013a;Tabish and Jha, 2012;Gunduz and Yahya, 2018), natural climates problems like winds, rains, high humidity and high temperature (Amade et al, 2015;Chan et al, 2004;Tabish and Jha, 2012;Gunduz and Yahya, 2018), economic and financial problems like price, local currency value (Pourrostam and Ismail, 2012;Alzara et al, 2016;Durdyev et al, 2017), bureaucratic interference (Nguyen et al, 2004;Phua, 2004), unexpected geological condition and increases in price for materials and labors (Chan et al, 2004;Tabish and Jha, 2012;Gunduz and Yahya, 2018), late delivery of materials and equipment (Akogbe et al, 2013;Aziz and Abdel-Hakam, 2016;Doloi et al, 2011) and shortage of labor (Ugwu and Kumaraswamy, 2007;Ogwueleka, 2011).…”

In this research, it was attempted to examine the relationship between critical project success factors and success criteria in construction projects. The study targeted the United Arab Emirates construction market in particular. The success factors were evaluated by their influence and contribution to the actual performance of the construction project on eight criteria. 33 indicators were identified through literature review and grouped into five distinct factors. The partial least squares (PLS) technique was applied to analyze the causal relationships between constructs using the software application Smart-PLS 2.0. The paper revealed the influence of each success factor towards the success criteria of construction projects in the by valuing their standardized structural path. The results illustrate that the Human related factors have the highest influence on the success criteria of construction projects in the UAE. This result provides useful information necessary to help construction involved parties better understand their strengths and weaknesses and then take the related actions necessary to improve and develop their strategies toward projects success.

“…Construction accidents may occur on a project site due to collapse of construction parts or elements, unsafe working areas, human behaviour and misuse of machineries (Abdelhamid and Everett, 2000). The adoption of health and safety culture is without doubt an essential element required in the construction process to influence project environment to realize its profitability or stipulated outcomes (Abdul- Raouf, 2004;Husin et al, 2008;Ogwueleka, 2011).…”

Construction industry is considered as the most hazardous industry due to its unique nature. Safety and quality management are essential to control hazards and improve success in project implementation. This paper focuses on evaluating the crucial factors influencing safety and quality management in construction projects. In order to achieve this, the qualitative and quantitative approaches were used for data collection. The findings of this study reveal the crucial safety factors as management commitment, safety awareness of top management practices/ procedures/ reviews, and errors in judgement or carelessness. Project supervision, employee involvement/ altitude, and expertise knowledge/ training were considered as the crucial quality factors influencing safety and quality management. The study shows that safety and quality issues cannot be overlooked therefore proper implementation is paramount to achieve project success.
