Evaluation of the Critical Success Factors for Effective Management of Construction Projects

Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the critical success factors of construction projects in Jordan which can help project parties reach their intended goals with greater efficiency, then to classify them to categories and evaluate each category importance. Theoretical Framework: The success of construction projects is crucial, and researchers have studied critical success factors (CSFs) to provide valuable insights for developers to improve project effectiveness. Project performance and productivity are currently significant challenges in the construction sector. CSFs play a vital role in project success by helping achieve project goals. Method: Data was collected and evaluated by statistical methods, and then a relative importance index has been used to determine the relative importance of the factors categories. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been used to examine how the groups evaluated the importance of the critical success factors. Factors collected from literature and previous research was classified to 4 groups then a survey with these critical success factors was distributed among to 100 respondents, based on 75 returned questionnaire. Results and Discussion: These factors related to 2 effective categories which are time and productivity related factors are the critical ones. The study result was hosted on the V internet as a web page by using HTML language and provided with suggested advised for each categories factors and these were used to get feedback from managers and expert to improve continuously. Research Implications: The research came with these suggested advises as techniques which could minimize failure and obtain success efficiently for each categories factors to the different parties of the construction project. Originality/Value: The researcher proposes several recommendations to enhance the success of construction projects in Jordan, Client Satisfaction: Regularly assess client satisfaction and take necessary measures in real-time to ensure quality, timely delivery, and fair pricing, Design Review: Conduct design review sessions with clients before finalizing the design and involve a team in estimating costs before tendering.
