Abstract
Even though an estimated 80 % of all building projects are procured by some form of the traditional building process, the project to project variations in performance are still subjectively and individually explained. The present paper addresses this particular domain. Using interorganizational conflict among the project’s task-organizations as a yardstick, the impact of a number of conflict-inducing organizational variables upon project cost, time and quality is measured and significant determinants of performance at these three levels are identified.

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
