Item Construction project performance areas for Indian construction projects(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Ingle, P.V.; Mahesh, G.Project management team always aims for successful outcome of construction projects. Time, cost and quality are performance areas which most of the researchers have acknowledged. However, there are other performance areas which are important in modern project management. The aim of the paper is to determine performance areas affecting the Indian construction industry. A comprehensive literature review was deployed to finalize a list of performance areas that affect project performance. A survey instrument was developed to gather data on the perception of industry professionals on the identified areas. The data collected was analysed using principal component analysis (PCA) and structural equation modelling (SEM). The results revealed 10 performance areas for project performance namely, customer relation, safety, schedule, cost, quality, productivity, finance, communication and collaboration, environment and stakeholder satisfaction. The validity of all performance areas was established by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using partial least square test–structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results of this paper can serve as guidelines in the field of construction management towards improving project performance. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Item Exploring performance areas and developing performance assessment model for a construction projects in India(Emerald Publishing, 2024) Ingle, P.V.; Mahesh, G.Purpose: The success of construction projects can be indicated by measuring their performance. For effective project performance (PP), the successful execution of a construction projects is very important. A systematic review of the literature on performance areas and performance assessment models was undertaken. The purpose of this paper is to develop a mathematical formulation for construction PP areas to suit the Indian context by modifying the current project quarterback rating (PQR) model. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the literature, the PQR model has not been validated for suitability in the Indian context. To validate the PQR model and modify the same for the Indian context, a survey instrument was used to collect data on performance areas and a multivariate data analysis technique was carried out to develop a modified model. Delphi technique was used to assign the weights for each performance metric in performance areas. Findings: This study concluded the importance of three additional performance areas, namely, productivity, stakeholder satisfaction and environment for assessing PP for Indian construction projects. It also identified the interrelationship between the performance areas and the PP. Practical implications: The developed modified PQR model (MPQR) will guide the concerned stakeholders to take corrective actions for improving the performance of construction projects. Originality/value: The MPQR proposed in this paper covers ten areas and is a comprehensive single score that can be used to benchmark and compare performance over different projects to achieve continuous improvement. © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited.
