Assessing and Prioritizing Critical Success Factors and Delays of Project Management Implementation: Empirical Evidence at Construction Projects in Jordan

Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to assessing and prioritizing critical success (CSFs) factors and delays of project management implementation by there a comprehensive taxonomy of CSFs and delays for project management. A total of 44 articles were reviewed to achieve an intensity of understanding of the various CSFs and delays already identified by other researchers and presenting a comprehensive classification of CSFs and delays in the area of project management in Jordanian construction project. Within this context, a questionnaire survey was carried out and among 98 personnel from 20 Jordanian construction projects. Afterward surveying project managers, engineers, and senior departments in Jordanian construction projects for the Relevance and importance of factors extracted from the field by analyzing all CFSs and delays mentioned in the literature. This research relied on the means values representing the means evaluations for the participants’ opinions. A 5-poits Likert scale was used; the success and delays factors were represented by five (5) major factors like the human’s related factors, organizational and managerial, material factor, project related factors, and the External Environment &Stack holder.
 
 This research used taxonomies to classify the means values throughout three ideas the first one classification of the major success factors and delays, second one to explore the sub success factors and delays within each major factor and finally to explore what is the most important sub success factors and delays regardless of the major factor its part of. Based on the analyses For the major success factors based on priority ranking the Projects related factors was the most important success and delays factor, while the factor Human Related was the lea important factor being evaluated For the humans related factors the sub factor “coherent team.” was the most sub factor evaluated , For the organizational and managerial sub factors “Functional manager support” was the most sub factor evaluated finally For the materials sub factors “Availability of materials” was the most sub factor evaluated?
