Developing Strategies For Improving Implementation Of Public Sector Construction Projects In Zambia

The purpose of the study was to develop strategies and a framework for successful implementation of public sector construction projects in Zambia, which was marred with public outcries and constant reports of failure by Auditor General`s reports. An exploratory sequential mixed method was used to attain the objective. This design allowed application of mixed methods where by exploratory study was conducted to establish basic facts and main study followed which in this case was general survey. For the first study which was qualitative in nature, seventy five (75) experts in public sector construction management were selected using purposive sampling technique and data collected was analysed using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) after aggregation. Results from exploratory study were used to development a data collection tool which was a questionnaire. 384 respondents in the general survey were selected using stratified random sampling technique and data collected was analysed through multiple regressions. The major findings were that there were twelve (12) key challenges and eleven (11) possible Critical Success Factors (CSFs) affecting performance of public sector construction projects in Zambia. Found also was varying relationships between Critical Success Factors and successful implementation of public sector construction projects represented by various success criteria. It was also confirmed that collectively Critical Success Factors determines performance of construction projects. From the study it was concluded that using established relationships, strategies and framework for

performance measurement during implementation of public sector construction projects could greatly contribute to improvement of the construction industry.
