“…On this issue, the respondents were asked to rate the economic drivers of SC, and their respective RIIs are tabulated in Table 4. The SPPS-based result of Cα of 0.761 confirms the internal consistency among the economic drivers of SC [51]. The relatively lower RII values of the economic drivers compared to the environmental drivers supports the previous finding of this study, where the respondents demonstrated their tendency to have a higher level of understanding towards the environmental drivers of SC.…”

“…Table 6 shows the barriers to SC identified from the literature and their respective rankings. The results reveal that all the barriers are perceived to be significant for successful adoption of SC practices, while the Cα of 0.825 confirms the internal consistency between the items within the category [51].…”

“…The Cα of 0.71 further confirms the internal consistency between the social pillars of SC [51]. Compared to the other pillars of SC, social drivers received the lowest ratings on average, which clearly shows the respondents' lack of understanding and knowledge about the correlation between the social drivers and the concept of SC, or the social benefits of SC implementation.…”

“…Finally, for reliability analysis, which is particularly required when the items are used to form a scale (i.e., Likert scale), Cronbach's alpha (Cα) test was used to measure the internal consistency of the set of items forming the scale, which varies from 1.00 (the maximum value of reliability coefficient) to 0.6 (the minimum value of reliability coefficient) [50,51].…”

Abstract:Although sustainability is of utmost importance, anecdotal evidence suggests that the concept is not adequately implemented in many developing countries. This paper investigates industry stakeholders' awareness of the current state of, factors driving, and barriers hindering the adoption of sustainable construction (SC) in Cambodia. Using an empirical questionnaire survey targeting local construction professionals, respondents were invited to rate their level of awareness, knowledge and understanding of SC, as well as to rate the level of importance of 31 drivers and 10 barriers identified from the seminal literature. The data set was subjected to the relative importance index method. The results suggest that the industry-wide adoption of SC practices is poor, which is believed to be due to a lack of awareness and knowledge, and reluctance to adopt new sustainable technologies. Furthermore, more efforts must be put into the selection of more durable materials for the extension of buildings' lives and to minimize material consumption, as well as to develop energy-efficient buildings with minimal environmental impact and a healthy indoor environment, so that the ability of future generations to meet their own needs will not be compromised. The outcomes of this study have enriched knowledge about the current state of, drivers of, and barriers to sustainable construction in a typical developing economy. Although the outcomes of this study were a short scoping exercise, it has formed a significant base for future SC work within Cambodia.

“…Moreover, due to cultural context of Cambodian construction industry, there are parameters influencing service quality and client satisfaction. For instance, lack of skilled workforce (Durdyev et al 2017a), frequent project delays (Durdyev et al 2017b) and lack of quality standards are the most critical factors affecting the level of satisfaction. Therefore, authors have included the following factors (ASU2, ASU3, RLB2, RLB4, EMP2, TNG2), which thought to be significant due to cultural context of the industry in Cambodia.…”

Abstract. The satisfaction of the client is of utmost importance in procuring future projects; however, anecdotally client satisfaction (CS) is not adequately considered in many developing countries. Factors associated with the influence of service quality (SQ) on construction client satisfaction and how it affects their behavioural intentions in Cambodia are investigated. A theoretical structural model was developed to investigate the influence of five SQ factors on CS and their links to the future behavioural intentions of the client. A partial least square approach of the structural equation modelling technique (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyse data collected from a questionnaire survey of 227 participants comprising the clients of small and medium size projects. The structural model adapts 22 attributes across five SQ factors, namely: reliability; responsiveness; assurance; empathy, and tangible factors. PLS-SEM outcomes confirmed that the future behavioural intentions of the client are influenced by their satisfaction over the service excellence provided by construction companies. Moreover, treating every client individually and demonstrating an approachable attitude towards their needs will increase their satisfaction with the experience they had with a contractor. Findings and recommendations of the study may be useful to construction companies who are seeking ways to improve CS in developing countries.

Implementing more sustainable practices in the construction industry would provide healthier and safer environmental conditions as well as ethical approaches. The conventional wisdom is that their uptake will continue to improve in line with its familiarity and applicability among industry stakeholders at the forefront of onsite project activities. Thus, an investigation was carried out into the factors affecting the sustainability performance of contractors in Palestine, particularly at the project execution stage. A questionnaire survey of 42 factors was administered to 90 registered contractors. Analysis of results using the mean value technique revealed that the cost of fundamental project resources, labor‐related factors, and destruction of natural habitat and depletion of natural resources were the most significant factors affecting contractors' sustainability performance. Despite being a limited exercise in scope, it is recommended that consideration is given to any potential cost fluctuations, as well as explicit mention of gain and pain issues within the project documentation, in order to sustainably operate in the construction sector of Palestine, while continuing to contribute to the national economy.
