Abstract

Stakeholder Management (SM) involves the processes necessary to identify the human resources, groups or organizations that could influence or be influenced by the project, understand their expectations and impact on the project to develop appropriate strategies for engagement. Therefore, well-managed multi-stakeholders helps to achieve an effective decision-making process that addresses sustainability issues. This paper aims to identify and examine the critical success factors (CSFs) required for implementing SM in sustainable building projects. A quantitative research strategy was adopted to collect primary questionnaire data from construction professionals in the UK. The questionnaire was distributed to 1632 professionals via emails and LinkedIn. 249 responses were received, and 155 valid responses were used for this study. The data gathered was analysed using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis. The contribution of SM towards achieving SM were found and grouped into four constructs of stakeholders' characteristics and project characteristics (SCPC), stakeholder analysis (SA), stakeholders' dynamics (SD), and stakeholder engagement (SE). it was evident that SM makes significant contributions in achieving sustainable building and as such project managers must optimally manage project participants.

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
