Alharbi, Meshal Abdulaziz B (2022) Factors influencing project team effectiveness to achieve quality of building projects in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.

Abstract

This thesis investigated the organisational and project levels factors influencing team effectiveness to achieve quality of building projects in the KSA. Team effectiveness outcomes were also investigated. The research employed two data collection stages for quantitative and qualitative analysis. The survey was validated for evaluating perceived team effectiveness factors to achieve quality through the interviews. The principal component analysis and Thematic analysis were utilised. Relationships among team effectiveness factors were explored in the developed conceptual framework. The conceptual framework enables construction organisations to better understand the organisational and project levels influences on team effectiveness to achieve quality.

Descriptive scope: 4 PCEA

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
