Assessing Contractual Relationship Quality: Study of Judgment Trends among Construction Industry Participants

Social sustainability criteria in public-work procurement: An international perspective

“…It provides a detailed analysis of the relationships between categorical data and a graphical illustration of the data in two-dimensional space (Hair et al, 2014;Yildirim et al, 2017). This technique has been used by researchers to demonstrate similarities and differences in judgment models (Jelodar et al, 2017), to analyze the interaction of multi-criteria decision-making methods with the life-cycle phases of infrastructures (Penadés-Plà et al, 2016) or construction industry aspects (Jato-Espino et al, 2014), and to study the relation between knowledge and public perception in an analyzed sample (De Gisi et al, 2017).…”

“…A simple correspondence analysis (SCA) enables researchers to visualize the correlations between variables and the possible existence of groups into the graph based on the distances between variables (Jelodar et al, 2017). This technique is based on the chi-square statistics to standardize the frequency value and to constitute the basis of associations (Hair et al, 2014).…”

“…This technique is based on the chi-square statistics to standardize the frequency value and to constitute the basis of associations (Hair et al, 2014). Inertia is directly related to chi-square statistics and demonstrates the relationship between the variable categories depending on the chi-square values of each section or row (Jelodar et al, 2017;Sourial et al, 2010). Departing from the inertia value, the correspondence analysis creates orthogonal dimensions to represent the variables, considering the strength of their associations (Hair et al, 2014;Yildirim et al, 2017).…”

Identification of Delay Causing Actor in the Indian Real Estate Project: an AHP-Based Approach

“…According to , specifications of the product are determined by its consumer, and the same influence poses to be a significant impact on the activities being conducted at construction sites. Such factors lead to occurrence of short-term relationships in the construction industry between a client and a contractor (Dubois & Gadde, 2002;Fearne & Fowler, 2006;Qu et al, 2011;Ardeshir et al, 2014;Janipha et al, 2015;Cerchione & Esposito, 2016;Ali Kazmi, 2017;Ju et al, 2017) eventually making the price quoted by the contractor the critical factor for evaluation of its bid. It is essential to mention that losses incur to the construction industry due to cost overrun, disputes, claim settlement and the primary reason for occurrence of disputes and disruptions, and such situations are commonly observed due to a lack of accurate information visibility (Mahamid, 2017) and this contributes to the trend of lower profit margins and reduced productivity in this sector.…”

“…Delays can lead to many stereotypes, i.e., disputes between a client and contractors leading to arbitration cost overrun, productivity loss, revenue loss and the termination of work charge. To compensate the damage due to delay, both causes and actors responsible for them must be identified (Yeo & Ning, 2002;Ardeshir et al, 2014;Sigmund & Radujković, 2014;Deep et al, 2016;Barman & Charoenngam, 2017;Deep et al, 2017b;Dixit et al, 2017;Love et al, 2017b;Walker et al, 2017). The analysis involves delay time calculation, identification of causes and the actor responsible for the delay.…”
