“…This involves an algorithmic selection process, and is therefore arbitrary to some extent as it proceeds by entering/ eliminating one IV at a time. This extracts more significant variables for inclusion in the model @ao and Proverbs, 2003; Lowe et al, 2006;Tabish and Jha, 2011). On the other hand, it can be regarded as a form of data dredging (Smith and Ebrahim, 2002), involving the 'torture' of data into a high model fit.…”

Performance in the construction industry is increasingly scrutinized as a result of the delays, cost overruns and poor quality of the indusuy's products and services. Increasingly, disputes, conflicts and mismatches of objectives among participants are contributory factors. Performance measurement approaches have been developed to overcome these problems. However, these approaches focus primarily on objective measures to the exclusion of subjective measures, particularly those concerning contractor satisfaction (Co-S). The contractor satisfaction model (CoSMo) developed here is intended to rethe situation. Data derived kom a questionnaire survey of 75 large contractors in Malaysia in respect of a key project are analysed to identify participant factors and their strength of relationship with Co-S dimensions. The results are presented in the form of eight regression equations. The outcome is a tool for use by project patticipants to provide a better understanding of how they, and the project, affect contractor satisfaction. The developed model sheds some light on a hitherto unknown aspect of construction management in providing an increased awareness of the importance of major Malaysian construction contractors' needs in the execution of successful projects.

Achieving success in public projects is difficult because it requires 382 economy, efficiency, quality, fairness and transparency (Tabish and Jha, 2011). 383…”

9The means for assessing what constitutes successful project delivery is a controversial topic in the 10 literature, with many approaches and frameworks in play. This paper extends Langston's existing 11 3D Integration Model to include an assessment of triple bottom line (TBL) performance and applies 12 it, for the first time, to a real-life case study. A subway station mega-project in Tehran, one of the 13 busiest cities in the world, is retrospectively tested to evaluate its success. The new subway system 14 is an important infrastructure project in Iran, and no research to date has evaluated its delivery from 15 a project management perspective. This paper provides governmental and private sector agencies 16 with a procedure to calculate the project delivery success (PDS) score for the construction of this 17 subway or similar infrastructure projects, enabling a unique means to compare performance with 18 other developments in Iran or elsewhere. From field data, it is shown by the researchers and verified 19 by both the site project manager and client's representative that the subway's construction is an 20 unsuccessful project. The findings quantify what could have been done, based on advice generated 21 from the model, to deliver a successful outcome. The benefit of Langston's 3D Integration Model is 22 its applicability to any project type or context, enabling them to be effectively compared and ranked 23 by the percentage change between planned and actual PDS score. Given the introduction of TBL as 24 a fifth core project constraint, an optimum solution can be found via the application of several 25 heuristics (or rules) that define the boundaries within which a successful solution lies. The extended 26 ManuscriptClick here to download Manuscript Revised JCME Paper_REV5.0_for submission.docx 2 model contributes to knowledge through its ability to quantify success and optimize performance, 27 ideally during the delivery of the project rather than as a post-mortem exercise. 28

As one of the main means to deliver service, Public Funded Projects (PFPs) always play a vital part in the development of the human society. Accordingly, research interests concerning PFPs from the construction industry have led to a great number of published papers during the past decades. Aimed at identifying the emerging research trend of researches addressing PFP issues, this study obtained target publications from selected international journals, and analyzed those articles in terms of the number of annual publications, authors and affiliations as main contributors, popular research themes, and preferred research methods. This study indicated that the number of PFP articles have been increasing, which could imply the growing importance of PFPs to the construction industry at large. What is more, the findings suggest that researchers from the United States are the most active in this discipline, followed by those from the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Hong Kong and Spain. And the origins of productive affiliations follow a similar way. With respect to emerging hot research topic, integration research, delivery method, sustainable exploration, governance issue, financial concern, performance study, risk management and decision-making challenges tend to attract more concerns of researchers within this discipline. Meanwhile, it was also found that the target articles of this study can be catalogued into three groups, field report, theoretical analysis, and quantitative calculation respectively. In addition, more vigorous modeling and simulation techniques such as stochastic frontier regression modeling and fuzzy synthetic evaluation simulation have been adopted in related researches. Moreover, investigations of content analysis also exhibit that sustainability should be the essential characteristic of PFPs, but there is still a long way to go concerning current sustainability performance of most PFPs. More relative research efforts are needed to ensure a sustainable development of PFPs as well as the construction industry.
