Abstract
The construction industry is deemed to be one of the most flourishing industries in Egypt.Throughout the history of work in megaprojects, particularly in the petroleum, chemical industries and power plants, it has been noticed that erroneous technical, managerial and ethical behaviors are dominant in the Egyptian work environment which to a great extent affect passively on the performance indices of construction projects. Through a deep review of the previous literature, it was found that the construction community in Egypt is unique to many behaviors that are not included in the researches that were investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to introduce a model describes the influence of different technical, managerial and ethical aspects on a number of selected performance indices to measure the success of construction projects in Egypt. To this end, questionnaire surveys and interviews were used as data collection means. The questionnaire contained 185 questions covering 24 independent variables and six dependent variables. These variables were selected to cover a number of critical issues that take place during the subsequent stages of large construction projects. The population and samples on which the study will be conducted are also identified and are made up of 44 construction companies that are working in Egypt. A number of 132 Questionnaires were distributed among the companies nominated for participation, three per each. Respondents have been divided into three categories including top management level, engineering and supervision level and technical employment level. A number of statistical analysis tools were presented. Kolmogorov-Semernov, Normality test, inter-item consistency and reliability test using Cronbach alpha coefficients, non-parametric analysis techniques using Mann Whitney Utest and Kruskal Wallis H-test as well as, a number of regression models were developed to evaluate the project performance during both planning and implementation phases. The study has detected six performance indices that have been correlated with eight technical aspects equally representing the planning and implementation phases as well as four managerial aspects, while in case of adding ethical aspects, the study revealed five dependent performance indices that have been linked to seven technical sides, two managerial sides and three ethical independent aspects.
