A Structural Equation Model of Feasibility Evaluation and Project Success for Public–Private Partnerships in Hong Kong

Examining the Interrelationship among Critical Success Factors of Public Private Partnership Infrastructure Projects

“…Additionally, these existing factors are good references for studying the sustainable implementation of the PPP project. Among them, all of the CSFs mainly involved four types, i.e., the public sector-related factor [11,17,29], the private sector-related factor [12,13], the environment-related factor [26,29,30] and the factor of the process of services provision [11,16,45,47,49]; these findings are also good references for determining the CSFs and questionnaire design. However, all of the previous studies determined the critical success factor for the PPP project, but the interrelationships among CSFs were ignored; and the variable of the public in PPP is also not included in the CSF framework constructed in the previous research.…”

“…A researcher can directly measure observed variables according to the data collected, and latent variables are the most important variables needed by researchers to measure or estimate, although they are not directly observed [70]. Moreover, with complex relationships being identified visually and systematically, the SEM is more helpful in discovering the underlying interrelationships among CSFs [26,70]. …”

“…The measurement component incorporates a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) that is concerned with how well latent variables are represented and measured by the observed variables. The latter establish the relationship between the variables through multiple regression analysis or path analysis [26,69]. In this article, the SEM approach was used to examine the relationship among cooperation partners, the public, the cooperative environment, PPP project implementation and to establish the structural relationships among the latent variables.…”

Public-Private Collaboration in the Emergence of a National Electronic Identification Policy: The Case of NemID in Denmark

“…Benefits of PPPs have been found to include increased efficiency in project management, cost reduction, risk sharing, improvement of service quality, and enhanced technological innovation [3,25,27]. In particular, governments seeking to utilize digital infrastructures effectively, increasingly draw on PPP arrangements in pursuing e-government initiatives [9].…”

“…In particular, governments involve private actors for establishing digital infrastructures by adopting publicprivate partnership (PPP) arrangements [9,12,37]. Benefits from PPP have been argued to include increased efficiency in project management, cost reduction, risk sharing, improvement of service quality, and enhanced technological innovation [3,25,27].…”
