Abstract

This study assessed the critical success factors (CSFs) of public-sector road construction projects execution from the perspective of definitive stakeholders associated with such projects by drawing on in-depth semi-structured interviews (16) and surveys (372) in Ghana, thirty-four (34) CSFs were identified. Using Relative Importance Index (RII), Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficients, and Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance and the Chi-square test of significance statistics, the top ten most important factors in descending order are: the absence of political interference, project continuity by successive governments, adequate project funding, support from financial institutions and donor agencies and countries, government commitment to the project, absence of clientelism, absence of nepotism, no political corruption, payments of contractors on time and absence of court injunction or legal suit and land litigations. This study contributes to road construction CSFs in the context of public sector road construction in developing economies.
评估发展中经济体中公共部门道路建设项目的关键成功因素:最终利益相关者的观点
本研究从与此类项目相关的明确利益相关者的角度评估了公共部门道路建设项目执行的关键成功因素(CSFs),通过在加纳进行深入的半结构化访谈(16)和调查(372),确定了34(34)个CSFs。利用相对重要性指数(RII)、Spearman秩相关系数、Kendall的一致性系数和显著性统计的卡方检验,前十位最重要的因素由高到低依次为:没有政治干预,历届政府的项目连续性,充足的项目资金,金融机构和捐助机构和国家的支持,政府对项目的承诺,没有裙带关系,没有裙带关系,没有政治腐败,按时向承包商付款,没有法院禁令或法律诉讼和土地诉讼。本研究有助于发展中经济体公共部门道路建设背景下的道路建设csf。
