Sayyed, Y; Hatamleh, M T and Alaya, A (2023) Investigating the influence of procurement management in construction projects on the innovation level and the overall project performance in developing countries. International Journal of Construction Management, 23(3), pp. 462-471. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
Innovation in the construction industry, specifically in developing countries, has not yet met the majority of scholars' expectations. The body of knowledge about innovation in these countries does not address the influence of innovative procurement management towards a successful construction project; nor demonstrate the role of exploratory projects in enhancing innovation in an organization’s procurement management plan. Consequently, this study examines the relationships between a construction project’s level of innovation, collaborative procurement management, and project performance. The primary data were collected from 221 construction industry experts using a quantitative method. The findings show that a project’s level of innovation, especially with exploratory projects, has a strong influence on project performance. Also, the role of a procurement management plan can be identified as a moderator between the Level of Innovation and Project Performance. The positive effects of collaborative procurement management can be noticed by the improvement on the project’s innovation process. Moreover, this study sets a benchmark for a series of studies related to innovation in developing countries' construction industry.

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
