Abstract
This study is part of a large study entitled the development of a framework for sustainable procurement of construction works. The purpose of this study is to identify the important factors that influence the implementation of sustainable procurement of construction works. The method used in this study is a questionnaire survey method with a Likert scale involving government procurement experts and public construction service procurement practitioners to obtain the relationship between factors and the potential success of implementing sustainable procurement of construction works. To obtain this relationship, PLS-SEM multivariate analysis was used. The results of the analysis show that the procurement process is influenced by the procurement organization and sustainable procurement policies and strategies. Sustainable procurement policies and strategies are influenced by sustainable procurement fundamentals. So, it can be concluded that the successful implementation of sustainable procurement of construction works is influenced by the fundamentals of sustainable procurement, sustainable procurement policies and strategies, procurement organization, and sustainable procurement processes.

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
