PurposeThe construction industry’s contribution to environmental deterioration is widely established in the literature, implying that addressing this issue will require a coordinated effort from all stakeholders. According to literature, stakeholder involvement without stakeholder management (SKM) is not enough, in ensuring efficient construction waste management (CWM). This study investigates the impact of SKM on efficient CWM by aggregating all relevant SKM variables and measuring their degree of influence on efficient CWM.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a four-stage research approach that included a literature review, a pilot study, a questionnaire survey and statistical analysis. After a thorough examination of the literature, nine essential SKM factors were identified and tested by a questionnaire survey following a pilot study. A total of 310 questionnaires were filled out and returned for analysis (exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis).FindingsThe study established that SKM is a unidimensional construct since all the variables extracted unto one underlying component with total variance explained (TVE), accounting for 58.938% of the total Variance in the measure of SKM in efficient CWM. Additionally, the reliability and validity test results satisfied the recommended thresholds, thus justifying the factorability of the construct. Furthermore, the hypothesis test revealed that SKM has a statistically significant impact on efficient CWM, implying that increasing SKM will have a beneficial impact on efficient CWM.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to material waste management in the construction industry and the outcome was determined solely by a field survey in Ghana. Extending the study to other jurisdictions would have improved its findings and made them easier to generalise.Practical implicationsThe study’s findings are helpful for practitioners and researchers, especially regarding the influence of the eight SKM variables on efficient CWM.Social implicationsThe study’s findings will reduce pollution, thus enhancing public health and encouraging social inclusion through the creation of jobs in the waste management chain.Originality/valueThe uniqueness of this study is anchored on the fact that no CWM study has considered all the eight SKM variables measured in this study at the same time. Also, this study has contributed to the literature by establishing the determinants of SKM in efficient CWM in Ghana.

“…The stakeholders of construction waste recycling are interconnected, and interact with each other, forming complicated relationships of a network structure. Based on the SNA method, this paper uses Ucinet software to conduct an in-depth study on the structural characteristics of governance relationship network among stakeholders by selecting multiple indicators including network cohesion, network centrality, core edge analysis, and structural holes [ 23 ]. The calculation formula of these indicators can be referred to in Appendix B .…”

A method based on Analytic Network Process and Social Network Analysis (ANP-SNA) was proposed in this paper to determine and better clarify the governance relationship among various stakeholders involved. Firstly, fourteen stakeholders of construction waste recycling were identified using the snowball sampling method, and the governance relationships of these stakeholders were summarized into four aspects with eight indicators. Secondly, the weights of the stakeholder governance relationship indicators were determined based on Analytic Network Process (ANP). Thirdly, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) method was used to model the governance relationship network of the stakeholders, and the governance relationships among different stakeholders in the network were described by quantitative analysis of network cohesion, network centrality, structural holes, and other indicators. Finally, key points for optimizing the governance relationships among stakeholders of construction waste recycling were proposed in this paper, so as to provide a new solution for the collaborative governance of stakeholders.
