Construction professionals perception of critical success factors for large Scale Construction projects
Construction Innovation: Information Process Management, 2009Co-Authors: Shamasurrehman Toor, Stephen O OgunlanaAbstract:Purpose – Large‐Scale Construction projects pose several challenges for successful completion. There seems to be no general agreement among researchers on what are the critical success factors (CSFs) on Construction projects. Success factors vary across various projects, let alone countries. This paper attempts to elicit the perception of Construction professionals on CSFs appertaining to large‐Scale Construction projects in Thailand.Design/methodology/approach – Questionnaire surveys and interviews were conducted with project managers, deputy project managers, and line managers to gather their perception on CSFs.Findings – Results of 76 questionnaire surveys and 35 interviews revealed that factors related to project planning and control, project personnel, and involvement of client were perceived to be critical for the success of large‐Scale Construction projects in Thailand. Participants also showed their high concern for sufficient resources, adequate communication, mutual understanding of stakeholders...

Critical COMs of success in large-Scale Construction projects: Evidence from Thailand Construction industry
International Journal of Project Management, 2008Co-Authors: Shamasurrehman Toor, Stephen O OgunlanaAbstract:Abstract Study of success factors in large-Scale Construction projects is increasingly relevant. Underlying relationships among the factors that contribute to project success can provide important insights for success on future projects. Therefore, major objective of this paper is to explore such underlying relationships and examine how these relationships can be useful to further explain success in large-Scale Construction projects. In order to elicit the perception of critical success factors for large-Scale Construction projects, questionnaire and interview surveys were employed with Construction professionals. Factor analysis was used to examine the underlying relationships of success factors which resulted in formulation of four factor groupings which were together called critical COMs of success and were labeled as COMprehension, COMpetence, COMmitment, and COMmunication, respectively. Critical COMs provide a very simple understanding of success in large-Scale Construction projects. These factor groupings can be easily understood and remembered by all project stakeholders. Project managers can also use the critical COMs to evaluate their current project and compare the perceived and real success factors for knowledge management exercise.

The effect of attitudinal differences on interface conflicts in large Scale Construction projects: a case study
Construction Management and Economics, 2002Co-Authors: Prapatpaow Awakul, Stephen O OgunlanaAbstract:Conflicts encountered in large Scale Construction projects occur in two categories: internal conflicts and interface conflicts. Internal conflicts are experienced among the project participants, whereas interface conflicts are between the Construction project and groups outside the project. Many large Scale Construction projects often experience interface conflicts in the form of conflicting requirements from different social groups. This paper examines the attitudes of five groups of respondents on the factors leading to the interface conflicts experienced on the Yadana Natural Gas Pipeline Project (YNGPP) in Thailand as a case study. The study was conducted through questionnaire surveys of the five groups: the group affected by the project; the project participants; non-government organizations (NGOs) and interested organizations; academics and experts; and local government officials. The results show that these five groups have differences in attitudes towards the factors leading to the interface conflicts encountered on the project; and it is the differences in attitudes that generated the conflicts. The key variables were grouped into main categories and the degree of importance of each key factor leading to the interface conflicts was identified.

Improvement of inspection system for reduction of small-Scale Construction site accident in Korea
Industrial health, 2018Co-Authors: Sejong Lim, Jeong-hun Won, Jae-joon ChonAbstract:This study analyzed the trend of Construction accidents focused on the small-Scale Construction sites and the correlation between the ratios of official inspection by government and total fatality injuries per 10,000 people (TFR) by Construction size in Korea. The method is to analyze statistical data for the Construction accidents and official safety inspection system. In Construction, accidents rate and TFR are recently increasing unlike other industries. In addition, the smaller the Scale of Construction sites, the higher the TFR, and vice versa. The smaller the Scale of Construction sites, the greater the degree of difference in the TFR for each year, and vice versa. In small-Scale Construction sites, which have amounted less than $273,000 (£231,000), approximately 45.7% of deaths occurred on sites between $36,400 (£30,800) and $182,000 (£154,000). The ratio of inspection, which represents the ratio of official inspection proportion to site share, is in inverse proportion to the TFR by Construction size. As the ratio approached zero, TFR became higher, and the higher the ratio, the lower TFR since the official inspection was mainly carried out in medium and large-Scale Construction sites. To get an effect of official inspection, the focus of official inspection should move onto the small-Scale Construction site.

Classical and Modern Methods of Psychological Scale Construction
Social and Personality Psychology Compass, 2007Co-Authors: Leonard J. SimmsAbstract:Scale Construction is a growth enterprise in the psychological literature. Unfortunately, many measures promise much but are severely limited by the inadequacies of their conceptualization and execution. In this paper, a model for developing psychological Scales is presented that is rooted in the traditions of construct validity and classical test theory but informed by modern psychometric methods. Construct validity is conceptualized as a guiding principle in each of three phases of Scale development, focused on (i) construct conceptualization and development of the initial item pool, (ii) item selection and structural validity, and (iii) assessment of external validity vis-a-vis other measures and relevant nontest criteria.

The construct validation approach to personality Scale Construction.
2007Co-Authors: Leonard J. Simms, David WatsonAbstract:Scale Construction continues to be a popular activity among basic and applied personality researchers. We conducted a I'sycINFO search of English-language journal articles published during the past 55 years that (1) included the keywords test Construction, Scale developmetlt~ Scale Construction~ or measure development and (2) also included the keyword personality. Using these criteria, our search revealed a total of 5,071 articles published since 1950, of which 3,609 (69.4%) have been published since 1985. Through the Jate 1980s and the 1.9905, approximately 168 such articles) on av~ erage, were published each yea~ but this num ber has increased markedly in first balf of this decade. Between the years 2000 and 2004, an average of 218 personality Scale Construction articles. were published each year, representing a 30% increase as compared with the 15 years prIor. Several points are notable from these data. First, approximarely two"thirds of all personal
