“…Notably, lack of qualified and experienced professionals was considered as a key reason for failures according to research conducted by Al-Kharashi and Skitmore (2009) in Saudi Arabia. Abdul Rahman et al. (2016), on the other hand, identified 58 factors that lead to the failure of mega construction projects in Makkah.…”

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.

“…The respondents were 128; Table 2 provides relevant demographic information. The researcher measured internal consistency and reliability using two measurements including Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability (Purwanto & Sudargini, 2021;Rahman et al, 2016). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the composite reliability for each construct in a measurement model (Table 8) are considered satisfactory if they are equal to or higher than 0.7.…”

In today's world of global competition, every business must be able to maintain a competitive advantage in both goods and services. Because of the rapid spread of COVID-19 beginning in the year 2020, small and medium-sized enterprises or SMEs have attempted to improve the flow of communication with their customers using social customer relationship management. There is a lack of knowledge about how social CRM can be effective for SMEs during the COVID-19 outbreak to increase customer focus, despite the growing interest in the adoption of social media by corporations. Much less is known about the factors that impact SME decisions to adopt social CRM and the impact that these factors have on competitive advantage in the event of the COVID-19 outbreak. Accordingly, the authors aim to conduct an empirical investigation into the role that social media can play, which has a significant impact on the management of customer relationships in SMEs.

“…Alajmi and Memon (2022) employed a critical analysis of the literature review and recommended that ineffective communication, lack of worker's expertise, monetary issues, delays in material procurement and supplies, management issues, slow decision-making and inadequate planning are major risk concerns. Rahman et al (2016) employed structural equation modeling and found that the contractual and project management factors, owner and consultants factors, labor factors, communication and information technological factors, drawings and documentation factors, site management factors and materials and machines factors are the significant risk factors.…”

Purpose – Construction projects are fraught with hazards that have a detrimental impact on schedules, estimates, and quality. The project execution phase exposes contractors to internal and external hazards, either implicitly or explicitly. A project’s achievement is contingent on the proper handling of internal and external hazardous concerns. This study investigates the connection linking internal and external risk factors with risk management in Saudi Arabian contractors and the moderation role of government bylaws linking this connection. Research methodology – This study investigates 303 Saudi Arabian contractors to explain the influence of internal hazards, external hazards, and governmental by-laws on risk management by applying the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. Findings – The outcome indicates that internal hazards (active leadership, team competency, and skills and effective communication), external hazards (technological, political, cultural, and economic factors), and government by-laws (also, its moderation role with external hazards) are positively connected with risk management resulting a moderate effect. Furthermore, the outcome also highlights that the moderating influence of government by-laws with internal risk factors is insignificant. Research limitations – The current research model depicted 74.4% of the overall variation in risk management. Other latent variables can explain the 25.6% remaining overall variation in risk management which can be taken into account for future aspects of effective construction risk management. Practical implications – This study raises the efficiency of Saudi Arabian contractors by improving project output delivery. This study made recommendations to boost risk management usage. Originality/Value – This research was conducted for the first time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and it is an original work.
