Abstract

PurposeThis study aimed at determining the decisive factors for achieving sustainable procurement in construction projects.Design/methodology/approachQuestionnaire survey of principal stakeholders involved in construction project delivery within client, consulting and contracting organisations in Nigeria were conducted to assess stakeholders' perspectives on the decisive factors for achieving sustainable procurement in construction projects using importance weights. A total of 243 questionnaires were distributed and a response rate of 51% (123 questionnaires were adequately filled and returned) was achieved. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilised in analysing elicited data.FindingsThe results from data analysis showed that “satisfaction – including workforce satisfaction and user satisfaction”, “value for money” and “creating a healthy, nontoxic environment – including high indoor air quality” were the top most three decisive factors for achieving sustainable procurement in construction projects in Nigeria.Originality/valueAn understanding of these decisive factors can help principal stakeholders in the construction industry of developing countries to facilitate the development of methods required in supporting the adoption of sustainable procurement practice.

建设项目可持续采购决策的决定性因素

目的本研究旨在确定建设项目中实现可持续采购的决定性因素。设计/方法/方法对尼日利亚客户、咨询和承包组织中参与建筑项目交付的主要利益相关者进行问卷调查，以评估利益相关者对建筑项目中实现可持续采购的决定性因素的看法。共发放问卷243份，回复率为51%(其中123份问卷得到充分填写和回收)。描述性和推断性统计用于分析所得数据。数据分析的结果表明，“满意度——包括员工满意度和用户满意度”、“物有所值”和“创造健康、无毒的环境——包括高室内空气质量”是尼日利亚建筑项目实现可持续采购的三个最重要的决定性因素。独创性/价值了解这些决定性因素可以帮助发展中国家建筑业的主要利益攸关方促进制定支持采用可持续采购做法所需的方法。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation publishes findings on contemporary and original research towards sustaining, maintaining and managing existing buildings. The journal provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study of buildings, their performance and adaptation in order to develop appropriate technical and management solutions. This requires an holistic understanding of the complex interactions between the materials, components, occupants, design and environment, demanding the application and development of methodologies for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment in this multidisciplinary area. With rapid technological developments, a changing climate and more extreme weather, coupled with developing societal demands, the challenges to the professions responsible are complex and varied; solutions need to be rigorously researched and tested to navigate the dynamic context in which today''s buildings are to be sustained. Within this context, the scope and coverage of the journal incorporates the following indicative topics: • Behavioural and human responses • Building defects and prognosis • Building adaptation and retrofit • Building conservation and restoration • Building Information Modelling (BIM) • Building and planning regulations and legislation • Building technology • Conflict avoidance, management and disputes resolution • Digital information and communication technologies • Education and training • Environmental performance • Energy management • Health, safety and welfare issues • Healthy enclosures • Innovations and innovative technologies • Law and practice of dilapidation • Maintenance and refurbishment • Materials testing • Policy formulation and development • Project management • Resilience • Structural considerations • Surveying methodologies and techniques • Sustainability and climate change • Valuation and financial investment
