| Summary: | Cultural differences in project teams within the construction industry are a
recognized phenomenon in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This study
investigates the crucial role culture plays and how cultural differences among
project managers influence their perceptions of two key aspects: project
management practices and project success in the context of the Saudi construction
industry. A custom questionnaire was used to gather the perceptions of 150 Saudi
and non-Saudi project managers from Riyadh city. The statistical tests applied
include frequencies, percentages, descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and
univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings reveal that the nationality
of the managers significantly impacts their perceptions of cultural differences,
which in turn influences the two aforementioned aspects. |
