Conceptual Framework for the Performance Measurement of Public-Private Partnerships

Public‐private partnership (PPP) models, which can mitigate the deflection of charging facilities, have been introduced for electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI) projects. Private‐sector partner selection is a significant step to ensure the success of EVCI‐PPP projects, but it has been rarely studied. This paper therefore identifies selection criteria for private partners in EVCI‐PPP projects and assesses the alternatives using an extended multicriteria operation and compromise solution (VIKOR) method. A partner selection indicator system is established through three development processes, and the factors are categorized into five factor packages: basic ability, management ability, performance of previous performance and credit performance, performance of projects, and sustainable development. These factors include 22 subcriteria. An extended VIKOR‐based method incorporating an intuitionistic fuzzy set is developed to select an optimal private partner. A case study is used to verify the effectiveness and rationalization of the proposed approach. Three potential candidates, P1, P2, P3, are evaluated and ranked according to their evaluation scores, and the results show that P1 is the best partner solution. Relevant charging infrastructure project experience, technical level in charging facilities, and financing plan are the top three criteria for choosing appropriate partners for EVCI‐PPP projects. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation framework for the government to select suitable private‐sector partners to accelerate the sustainable development of charging facilities.

“…Questionnaire is an effective method used in soliciting experts' opinion (Spector, 1994). Several previous studies related to PPP performance evaluation have adopted the questionnaire survey (Liu, Love, Davis, Smith, & Regan, 2014;Shen et al, 2016;Yuan, Wang, Skibniewski, & Li, 2011). Essentially, this study adopted a questionnaire survey because it allows respondents to have more time to ponder over their responses compared with other methods (Osei-Kyei & Chan, 2017).…”

During the last couple of years, sustainability has become topical in transnational public–private partnership (TPPP) projects primarily because of the enormous impact TPPP projects have on the environment, economic, and well‐being of people. This paper aims to develop a model that could be used to evaluate the sustainability levels of TPPP projects. The proposed model consists of four categories of social responsibility factors; these include economic, environment, social, and people‐oriented factors. Of the four categories, social factors obtained the highest coefficient (i.e., 0.255) in the TPPP sustainability index equation. The substantive model will enable practitioners to quantify the sustainability levels of TPPP projects prior to their implementations. Moreover, the outputs of this study inform private investors of the key areas to focus on to enhance sustainable development through TPPP project implementations.

“…As a result, this study tests H1 to verify the effect of relational norms between the public and private sectors on project performance in PPP projects. For H2, prior studies only indirectly indicate that project performance can influence user interests [35,36], but do not directly investigate the relationships between project performance and user interests. Consequently, this study tests H2 to probe the effect of project performance on user interests in PPP projects.…”

“…Liu et al [35] evaluated performance improvements to realize the predetermined outcomes and benefits of PPPs, including user interests. Liu et al [36] further indicated that stakeholder satisfaction is the most important indicator to measure the performance of PPP projects, within which more attention should be paid to user interests. Usually, the achievement of synergistic gains and positive spillover effects are expected when adopting PPPs, which greatly benefit users because the satisfactory performance of a PPP project would be costless [37].…”

Influence of Relational Norms on User Interests in PPP Projects: Mediating Effect of Project Performance

et al. 2018

Protecting user interests is one of the most important public sector responsibilities in PPP (public-private partnership) projects. However, user interests could be damaged by poor project performance. Therefore, this study focuses on the protection of user interests in PPP projects and analyzes the relationships among relational norms, project performance, and user interests in PPP projects. A questionnaire survey is conducted to collect the opinions of professionals from the public sector and private sector. Upon analyzing 109 valid questionnaires, the results demonstrate that the relational norms between the public sector and private sector have a positive effect on project performance, and project performance has a positive relationship on user interests. Moreover, project performance has a positive mediating effect on the relationships between relational norms and user interests. This finding can provide a theoretical foundation and suggest practical measures to help the public sector better protect user interests in PPP projects.
