Thneibat, M M and Al-Shattarat, B (2023) Critical success factors for value management techniques in construction projects: Case in Jordan. International Journal of Construction Management, 23(4), pp. 669-678. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
This study aims to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) of Value Management (VM) in construction projects in the context of developing countries. The article serves as a preliminary study on the status of VM in developing countries. A questionnaire survey and interviews with construction professionals have been conducted to highlight possible success factors to achieve this aim. The 181 returned surveys were analysed using factor analysis to explore the inherent relationships between the highly ranked CSFs. The study reveals that Client Support, Awareness of the VM team, the VM facilitator’s proficiency, and the VM team environment are the main clusters that describe the connections between CSFs. Besides the scarcity of VM studies in developing countries, our study provides insights into how VM techniques can be smoothed in construction projects. Additionally, the article introduces two novels CSFs to the field of VM that has not been investigated before.

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
