“…The hazards associated with expanding projects are mainly unavoidable, although they are occasionally preventable. There are significant challenges that contribute to project delays in airport expansion projects as well as other building projects (Al Hudhaif, 2021). These are administrative challenges, hasty decision-making and planning, drawing preparation and approval, manpower shortage, and a lack of command and control.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to identify the constraints and restrictions and their impact on the construction projects in Saudi Arabia from three key participants' perspectives for the planning stage.Design/methodology/approachUsing a descriptive-analytical approach, this research described and analyzed the frequency and severity of failure factors in construction projects in the planning stage using a five-Likert scale questionnaire in Saudi Arabia construction between 2019 and 2020. A total of 100 experts from contractors, consultants and owners were included in the study.FindingsThe findings have shown that time dispute was the major factor affecting the projects to be failed. Similarly, cost overrun and total abandonment have an impact on project failures. The findings have indicated that government officials were involved in delaying the projects while contractors also failed in the project deliveries.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research is needed to investigate the relationship between failure characteristics and project success measures in the same stage, in addition to, factors of failure for construction projects' life-cycle stages.Originality/valueThe findings have indicated that government officials were involved in delaying the projects while contractors also failed in the project deliveries.

“…In summary, the suggested conceptual framework was confirmed, and the analysis clarified the understanding of the current situation of project management standard practices and construction industry practitioners' awareness of the factors contributing to project success. Another research paper with the following topic "Project execution obstacles: a case of King Abdulaziz Airport in Saudi Arabia" (Hudhaif, 2021). The objective of this study was to identify the causes of the various delays in airport projects in Saudi Arabia, especially the King Abdulaziz International airport (KAIA).…”

The demand for establishing a Project Management Office (PMO) will continue as many projects continue to delay or remain in the region of complicated and stalled projects. In Saudi Arabia, project failure is can be classified as severe pain for many businesses, even for the country's economy. There might be a shortage of research in the literature on project failure that emphasizes why projects fail or delay in Saudi organizations and the impact of implementing a PMO to manage projects. The main objectives of this empirical research in Saudi Arabia are to (i) conduct a literature review on the role of PMO and projects success criteria, (ii) identify the relationship between industrial engineering and the project management framework, (iii) critically evaluate if establishing a PMO will help achieving goals for project success. (iv) identifying when a project is successful, (v) evaluate the difference between the organizations that have established a PMO and other organizations that have not, (vi) identify the main obstacles for establishing PMOs in Saudi Arabia. A literature review on project failure and PMO establishment were performed. To prepare research questions and hypotheses, this study employed a multiphase mixed-method design with quantitative and qualitative methodologies to reach its research purposes. The data were collected through an online questionnaire for the critical incident technique study and then analyzed using thematic analysis and ANOVA using SPSS software. The main findings of the research show that most response that the project characteristics and performance within the organization, such as schedule, budget, and end-product, are essential for project success; in addition, the statistics showed the most important reasons for project failure. Furthermore, the study statistics showed that the primary motivation for starting a PMO is as follows a) Implement and follow standard practices, b) decrease the rate of and c) Assess project risks at early stages of the project lifecycle. Practitioner of project management view on PMO roles centered on the stalled project how it will develop and maintain project management standers and Provide project management consultations. Interestingly, the study also revealed that the lack of understanding of PMO value to the organization and Resistance to change are the main obstacles to establishing a PMO office. Overall, there was a statistically significant relationship between project characteristics and PMO’s effectiveness according to (Obstacles of establishing PMO). There was a statistically significant relationship between project characteristics and PMO’s effectiveness according to (Reasons of Projects failure).

“…To test the hypothesized relationships, this study relies on survey data collected from the plastics manufacturing sector in KSA. This particular sector provides a suitable context for addressing the research objectives of this study because organizations in this sector have adopted CT into their operations and processes, keeping in line with Saudi Arabia's National Vision 2030, where the digital transformation of industries is a key component (Al‐Maliki, 2021; Haines, 2021; Hudhaif, 2021). Moreover, the government of KSA is encouraging and assisting other organizations in the same sector that are yet to adopt CT in their processes to make the journey toward a more digitalized I4.0 environment (AlArjani et al, 2021; Atif, 2023).…”

The use of collaborative technologies (CT) in the industry 4.0 environment has become ubiquitous. While industry practitioners acknowledge the positive influence of CT on operations and projects of their organizations, yet there seem to be insufficient scholarly insights into the link between CT and project performance (PP). Hence, this study deploys the resource dependence theory to posit the influence of CT on PP, along with mediating roles of the individual factors (IF), organizational factors (OF), and sociotechnical factors (STF) in the above relationship. A set of hypotheses is developed and tested through cross‐sectional survey data collected from 392 employees in managerial and supervisory roles, in manufacturing organizations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The analysis conducted through structural equation modeling using SmartPLS indicates that CT positively influences PP. Moreover, the study found that IF, OF, and STF are all significant mediators in the relationships between CT and perceived project performance (PPP). This study contributes to the extant literature and industry practice by providing, nuanced insights into the role of pertinent mediators in the link between CT and PP.
