Abstract
This study proposes a new organization performance assessment model to assist in identifying areas with potential improvements, thus leading to better performance. The model is based on the integration of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis. The goal of this research is to design a comprehensive performance assessment model through identifying and ranking a set of critical success factors (CSFs). The research findings indicate that the CSFs in construction organizations have different priorities and weights according to different functional units. Four assessment models are developed to reflect the different perspectives of four functional units in construction organizations. The validation results of the models range from 88 to 85%. The models will benefit organizations in assessing their performance according to the different individuals' perspectives.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
