Abstract
Project management team always aims for successful outcome of construction projects. Time, cost and quality are performance areas which most of the researchers have acknowledged. However, there are other performance areas which are important in modern project management. The aim of the paper is to determine performance areas affecting the Indian construction industry. A comprehensive literature review was deployed to finalize a list of performance areas that affect project performance. A survey instrument was developed to gather data on the perception of industry professionals on the identified areas. The data collected was analysed using principal component analysis (PCA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The results revealed 10 performance areas for project performance namely, customer relation, safety, schedule, cost, quality, productivity, finance, communication and collaboration, environment and stakeholder satisfaction. The validity of all performance areas was established by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using partial least square test–structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of this paper can serve as guidelines in the field of construction management towards improving project performance.

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
