Abstract
This study comprehensively identifies critical management components and measures their effectiveness in modern methods of managing construction projects in Asian countries. The present study, by going beyond the traditional and limited criteria of the Golden Triangle of Project Management, has examined a wide and in-depth set of influential factors and related micro-factors. These factors have been collected and analyzed through a careful study of the literature, conducting semi-structured interviews with leading industry experts, and distributing targeted questionnaires among experts and managers in the construction field. The conceptual model resulting from these studies, which represents the relationships between the identified components, It has proven its validity and reliability using a supplementary survey and the application of advanced structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methods with specialized software SmartPLS.
This study, focusing on the use of new technologies and providing creative solutions, seeks to empower project managers, especially in developing countries. The main goal is to push managers towards the use of advanced and efficient methods in the process of controlling and implementing construction projects, instead of relying solely on traditional and sometimes inefficient management models. Key findings of the research indicate that several key factors play a critical and decisive role in the success of construction projects. In particular, in today's complex and inconsistent economic conditions, accurate and timely estimation of indirect costs finds a special place in the detailed scheduling of projects. Furthermore, the comprehensive evaluation method presented in this study has great potential for evaluating and improving other similar systems and processes. This approach can serve as a strategic tool to help industrial and construction stakeholders achieve systemic goals with higher levels of efficiency and effectiveness.
