“…The Cronbach's alpha reliability of challenges associated with contractor selection strategy is 0.87. The measured Cronbach's α recorded for this study revealed that the reliability of the questionnaires' constructs is high according to (Olatunji, 2010); all exceeding the cut off score of 0.7. This indicated that the questionnaire constructs are highly reliable (consistent) free from rom error.…”

This research examines the challenges associated with contractor selection strategy in construction project delivery with specific application to construction projects in Jos. The paper adopted a questionnaire survey conducted. Structured questionnaire was administered to 170 construction professionals to elicits information’s on challenges associated with contractor selection strategy, out of which 148 representing 87.06% properly filled questionnaires were analyzed. The respondents were asked to rank 15 major challenges associated with contractor selection strategies, as conceptualized identified from the literature. The study deployed descriptive statistics such as mean standard deviation for data analysis. The identified factors were found to fall between low to high level of importance with weighted mean values between 2.09-4.45. The result indicated that request of extension of time by the contractor, political influence, delay in releasing relevant contract documents to the contractor, history of not finishing project on time as agreed are major challenges associated with contractor selection strategy. The identified factors were therefore recommended to be looked into as contractor selection challenges that affect project delivery. Furthermore, this research will help stakeholders to be more aware of have a better understanding of the selection procedure that affect construction project delivery. The understanding of these factors will help decision makers to make more efficacious decisions when selecting a contractor.

“…This marvel is additionally likewise seen in Ghana where Windapo (2013) sees that reviews uncover expansion in cost overwhelms, deferred fruition, inadmissible and neglected undertaking goals in most development projects. While exploring the subject of task delays in South Africa, Olatunji (2010) sees that it is a marvel that can be ascribed to the powerlessness of the customer/his delegate and the venture group to have an exhaustive perspective on the development project from beginning to consummation. Musa et al, (2011) express that development delay has gotten endemic in Nigeria.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of project planning processes and strategic performance management in Gahaya links projects in Kicukiro district Rwanda. The study focused on: scope planning, risk planning and dissemination planning on strategic performance management in Gahaya links projects in Kicukiro district Rwanda. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The research was carried out by using secondary data, from the relevant documents obtained from Gahaya Link's office, whereas the primary data was collected using questionnaire. The research analysis and interpretations were based on respondents' responses. The respondents were provided with questionnaires, interview and observation, applying different techniques, motivation and each item contributed would give rise to a variable. The researcher asked participants to scrutinize instruments for face to face and content validity. For reliability, test-retest method was used. The coefficient of Cronbach was used to establish how reliable the instruments are. Test value of 0.700 was termed well enough and the tools was judged reliable. Concurrent triangulation was used to ensure credibility. An in-depth interview was applied to establish dependability of non-numerical instruments. Quantitative data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical tests, as well as presented through tables and figures. Descriptive statistical tests include percentages, frequencies and counts while inferential statistical tests entail multiple regression. Majority of the respondents consisting of 53.1% agreed that in Gahaya links project, Work Breakdown Structure is always created along with providing guidance for schedule development and control to ensure timeliness in project delivery, 34.4% strongly agreed, 12.5% were undecided and none disagreed. Majority of 46.9% agreed, 39.1% strongly agreed, 12.5% were undecided, 1.6% disagreed and none strongly disagreed. Majority of the respondents consisting of 42.2% agreed that in Project risk identification in Gahaya links project is done to ensure strategic performance management of the project, 42.2% strongly agreed, 9.4% were undecided and 6.3% disagreed. As to whether Gahaya links project, we have developed a model that we apply to correctly identify, respond and monitor risks to save time and money to ensure timeliness in delivery of products, majority of the respondents consisting of 60.9% strongly agreed, 21.9% agreed, 12.5% were undecided and 4.7% disagreed. Another statement related to review process was asked. The respondents were required to rate their opinion as to whether in Gahaya links project, there is a review process after the application of the mitigation measures for the identified uncertainties to ensure project success. Finally respondents opinion was sought on whether project managers effectively manager evaluates and records potential and identified

“…Umeokafor et al (2022) pointed out that the accident rate within African countries is 21.1 fatalities per every 100,000 workers. In South Africa, for example, there is a positive relationship between lost days and the average cost per accident, which means that for every increase in lost days, there is a corresponding increase in the cost of accidents (CoA) (Aiyetan & Anugwo, 2021). According to Bavafa et al (2018), the case in Ghana is a concern.…”

Shared values and beliefs are inherent in a culture, which helps an organization achieve superior safety performance. The study aimed to identify the reporting and information-sharing indicators that will promote positive safety culture within construction companies, especially among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Based on the related literature on safety culture, the study adopted the Delphi technique data collection method in Ghana, the research site. After a three-round Delphi technique, the indicators that reached consensus were retained and reported in this paper. The findings revealed that 11 indicators would show how reporting and information sharing promote a positive safety culture. Reporting and sharing information underpin an informed culture essential to a learning organization. Thus, how construction SMEs handle specific indicators, such as ‘naming and shaming [the blame game], influence the timing and accuracy of reporting and sharing of information that may be vital to the safety of site operatives.
