摘要

尽管人们已经注意到建筑业(CI)中用于应对风险的措施,但审查风险应对措施(RRM)的基本结构的文献有限,尤其是在中小企业中。因此,本研究提出了RRM的探索性因素分析(EFA)结果。采用实证范式,使用结构化问卷,从南非豪登省181名方便抽样的受访者中收集实证原始数据。研究结果支持了现有文献,并通过两个结构实证建立了风险反应的结构组成。具有新兴措施的结构被称为滞后措施,而具有流行措施的结构则被称为风险应对的领先措施。然而,这项研究得出了一个双因素模型,其中所有六个项目都应该用来衡量风险反应。根据所获得的结果,风险规避和风险缓解似乎是衡量风险应对的可靠措施。因此,这项研究可以作为准确衡量风险应对措施的参考,并为每种风险制定商定的应对措施,包括适当的战略和实施所选战略的具体应对措施。该研究仅限于CI,豪登省的建筑业中小企业的研究范围较小;因此,研究结果不能推广到SA的所有中小企业。

Underlying structures of risk response measures among small and medium contractors in South Africa
Although attention has been given to the measures used to respond to risk in the construction industry (CI), there is limited literature that scrutinizes underlying structures of risk response measures (RRMs) especially among small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study, therefore, presents findings from an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of RRMs. A positivist paradigm was adopted to collect empirical raw data from 181 conveniently sampled respondents in Gauteng, South Africa (SA), using a structured questionnaire. The results support the extant literature and empirically established the structural composition of risk response by two constructs. The construct with emerged measures was termed trailing measures while the one with popular measures was termed leading measures of risk response. However, the study yielded a two-factor model with all the six items supposed to measure risk response. Based on the results obtained, it seems that risk avoidance and risk mitigation are reliable measures for measuring risk response. This study could thus serve as a reference for the accurate measurement of risk response and for the development of agreed responses for each risk, including an appropriate strategy and specific responses to implement the chosen strategy. The study was limited to the CI and to a lesser extent, construction SMEs in Gauteng; hence the findings cannot be generalized to all SMEs in SA.
