Engineering Construction Management in the Countries along One Belt One Road: A Case Study of Pakistan ()
ABSTRACT
The
purpose of this study is to recognize the key issues in engineering construction
management (ECM) under OBOR in Pakistan, to assess their impact on success of
ECM projects and to draw suggestions about solutions to these issues. Three
major issues named as “time-related issues, budget-related issues and employee-related
issues” are recognized in ECM projects and then their impact on success of ECM
projects is assessed. Data were collected from 202 CPEC officials through structured questionnaire and
analysis was run to check the hypotheses of current study. The findings
revealed that there is significant negative impact of employee-related issues, budget-related
issues and time-related issues on the ECM project success as these issues
create different managerial problems in projects, which
causes delay the completion of projects and hampers the
success of projects. The solution of these problems is provided in current
study. This study is first of its type that has identified and analyzed these
three key issues in ECM projects under OBOR in Pakistan in terms of their
effect on success of those projects. The current study has noteworthy
implications in theoretical and practical terms.
