“…To achieve the desired objectives, the study utilized the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal (PESTEL) framework. The PESTEL framework is commonly used in studies that investigate the external factors that drive or pressure organizations to implement changes (Tijani et al, 2022). The framework has proven successful in analyzing the macro-business environment that is external to the firm, as it allows organizations to understand the underlying characteristics that are not within their control (Lamas Leite et al, 2017;Wei et al, 2019).…”

“…The social factors can refer to the factors that represent the "human and social characteristics, norms, customs, and values" of the people that concern the organization's business such as the staff, partners, and customers (Turk, 2021). Social factors can have an outsized impact on organizations and industries, especially when shaping project performance, influencing the workforce attitude, collaborating with local communities, and targeting customers or constituents (Peterdy, 2022;Tijani et al, 2022). This study identified five social factors including an aging workforce, changes in customer needs, Equity-Diversity-Inclusion efforts, pressure from non-governmental organizations, and reduced flow of young workers.…”

In a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment, organizational change has been a central concern for capital project organizations, that continue to suffer from poor project performance in a growing industry. As such, capital project organizations must understand the changing environment and the factors driving change within their organizations to remain successful in a changing environment and adapt to change. To help the capital projects industry achieve successful organizational change efforts, this paper aims to 1) identify the external factors that are pushing capital project organizations to change and 2) investigate whether these factors impact organizations differently. To achieve the desired objective, a total of 22 PESTEL (political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal) factors were identified and validated with a group of 14 subject matter experts and defined via the context of literature. Then, the factors were evaluated via an online survey to understand whether they impact organizations differently based on their age maturity (including contemporary, transitional, and legacy organizations) and type of work (including owners, contractors, and service providers). Findings from this study can provide capital project practitioners and researchers with valuable insights needed to understand the external factors shaping change within the industry.
