Analysis Study of Change Contract Order (CCO) Management on Construction Project Implementation Performance in Central Lombok Regency

In construction projects, both in the public and private sectors, the occurrence of risks, such as Contract Change Orders (CCOs), is common, posing challenges to project implementation. CCOs, reflecting uncertainties in project execution, can manifest at any stage of the project, from inception to completion. Within the construction projects undertaken by the Central Lombok PUPR Office, serving as the project owner, organizer, or government project stakeholder, CCOs frequently occur, indicating a significant area of concern. This study aims to identify the primary causal factors and influences of CCOs through the utilization of questionnaire surveys, bolstered by statistical analysis employing SPSS for Windows. Our findings reveal that the predominant causal factor contributing to CCOs is the 'increasing volume according to field needs,' representing 6.61% of the total factors identified. Furthermore, the influence of CCOs on project performance is notably impacted by 'increasing daily production,' accounting for 17.4% of the total influence observed. This research not only sheds light on the specific factors driving CCOs but also underscores their implications for the successful execution of construction projects in Central Lombok Regency. By understanding these dynamics, stakeholders can implement proactive measures to mitigate risks, enhance project management practices, and ultimately improve project outcomes.

Organisational Efficiency or Bureaucratic Quagmire: Do Quality-At-Entry Assessments Improve Project Performance?

Do quality-at-entry assessments enhance the delivery of development projects? In this paper we take advantage of approval and execution systems in place at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to examine whether projects that have higher quality-at-entry – captured through grading scores provided by a checklist – perform better in terms of project implementation performance indicators. Implementation indicators include measures based on actual versus planned schedule of activities and cost outlays, as well as per cent of loan disbursed. The analysis suggests higher scores on project logic and economic analyses at entry have had a positive impact on project performance. However, monitoring and impact assessment scores had limited impacts on performance. The evidence supports the hypothesis that the use of a checklist can be an effective framework for assessing quality-at-entry for IDB projects, though there is scope to improve the checklist for certain indicators.

The value of backers’ word-of-mouth in crowdfunding projects filtering: an empirical investigation

The current study aims to investigate whether backers’ electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) is a valuable input when it comes to generating collective intelligence for projects filtering in crowdfunding. Based on theories of collective intelligence and WOM, we developed a research model and conducted an empirical study using a cross-section dataset with 845 crowdfunding projects and a panel dataset of the funding dynamics of those projects. The results indicated that backers’ negative WOM rather than positive WOM can effectively predict project implementation performance. Besides, for entrepreneurs with a high reputation, negative WOM has stronger predictive power for the complaints of product quality. We also found that projects with more accumulated negative WOM tend to attract fewer subsequent backers. Compared with positive WOM, negative WOM has a stronger effect on subsequent investments in a crowdfunding project. Finally, positive WOM can reduce the diffusion of responsibility effect in crowdfunding, that is, a backer is less likely to take responsibility for investing in a project when others have already backed it. Based on these findings, we conclude that backers’ WOM, especially the negative WOM, contributes to projects filtering in crowdfunding.

Effect of Monitoring Techniques on Project Performance of Kenyan State Corporations

Monitoring practices are the continuous routine in the tracking of key elements of project implementation performance that is: inputs (resources, equipment) activities and outputs, through recordkeeping and regular reporting through assessment of an on-going or completed project to determine its actual impact against the planned impact in relation to its design, implementation, and results. However, monitoring practices implementation has been a challenge over years, organizations have crumbled due to failure to master monitoring best practices in the performance of their projects. The main objective of this study is to investigate the influence of monitoring techniques on project performance of Kenyan State Corporations. Simple random sampling was used to select 65 state corporations which form the sample size. Data were collected from the sample size using questionnaires with both open and closed questions.

Opening the black box of project management: Does World Bank project supervision influence project impact?

While the World Bank supervises projects, we do not know if this supervision influences project impact. Taking a managerial lens and, hence, moving away from a micro-economic lens, this research shifts the focus from how much effort is spent on project supervision to what makes it successful. Thus, the research looks inside the “black box” of project supervision and specifically examines the perceptions of World Bank project supervisors. Based on a sample of 178 projects and using structural equation modeling, we show that project supervision's critical success factors (CSFs) include design, monitoring, coordination, and training but by far design and monitoring are the prominent ones. Moreover, we find that project supervision positively influences project management success, but may not influence project impact. Since supervision pays off as it can lead to better project implementation performance, the World Bank should focus more on project planning, context and governance to achieve impact.
