Performance Based Contract (PBC) which is used to replace traditional contracts in national road constructions in Indonesia has been improvised into the Long Segment Maintenance Contract (LSMC). Contractor role and risk influence contractor performance; hence, the LSMC was introduced to assist contractors in improving their organizations to enhance performance in undertaking national road construction projects. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between LSMC and contractor performance in Aceh, Indonesia, with operational capabilities as the mediator.
