| 要約: | Based on the growing ethos that construction organisations can benefit from implementing
sustainable practices, this study evaluated main contractors’ project delivery practices for
sustainability. The objectives were to validate set of empirically weighted criteria for construction
organisations’ sustainability practice assessment. The weighted criteria were validated by assessing
three main contractors’ organisations’ sustainability performance in four projects. The sustainability
performance was evaluated based on sound environmental management principles, robust
stakeholder engagement and responsible project management. Data were collected using
questionnaire survey and project auditing. The study targeted 76 stakeholders in contractors and
engineering consultancy organisations in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Criterion suitability was based on
respondents’ agreement score in inter-rater agreement (IRA) scale. Correlational effects were
explored in published and assessed weightings using Multiple Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The
finding indicated contractors’ inclination towards sustainable construction practice must be
strengthened. MANOVA correlation showed published and assessed weightings differ significantly
with (Lambda (4, 2) = 0.056, p = 0.418). The study submits weighted criteria are suitable for
assessing a practice. The criteria are by this means validated and form assessment benchmarks for
use in the absence of standard tool. The region must institute incentive and reward systems to
stimulate widespread sustainable practices application within the contracting sector. |
